This week Mo Manning's challenge is Christmas in July, so I took two images I had already colored and put them on cards. I just couldn't break up this adorable pair, so I am showing both cards here.
First is "Noelle Bearing Gifts" and I love her fun coat! She is colored with Copics and framed with Nesties labels. I used red metallic paper to match the sentiment sticker. The sentiment sticker is from a set I found at Hobby Lobby and matched the Nestie perfectly! I used the extra wide lattice border punch from Martha Stewart on ivory cardstock topped with holiday gingham ribbon. The poinsettias are from my basketful of odds and ends and I placed ivory Prima roses in the centers.
She is such a cutie and I can't wait to see what's in those packages!
Here is "Nicholas Bearing Gifts" and it looks like he's all dressed up for a fun Christmas party. This card is a little simpler than Noelle's. Nicholas is colored with Copics. The crinkle paper in the background adds texture (I love texture) and the light blue square was run through the Cuttlebug with the Swirls embossing folder. The deckle-edge Nesties seemed to complement the other textures nicely. Those awesome snowflake stickers are from the Recollections line at Michaels. I love the frosty look of them! And the sentiment is a silver peel-off.
Nicholas is quite a dapper young fellow, don't you think?
I'm so glad you stopped by today! Is it hot where you are? We are having unusual heat here in Missouri, so do what I do and "Think Snow!"

Hi Barb, hope you are well, your cards are stunning and I cant believe we are heading towards Christmas once again! Where does the time go? Wish we had some sun here, all it seems to do is rain, still they are showers so we do get a little sun inbetween! Take care
