Snow Family
I'm waaaay behind with blogging my cards but life has got in the way again! After getting back from our cruise I became treasurer of The Fleet Art Society just as they were due to hold their winter exhibition. The hand over took a while as the guy showing me went over everything a number of times! Then the exhibition was on for five days and I had christmas presents to buy, cards to write, cakes to bake!
So here are two snow family cards, which have also used up some of my stash of 6x6 papers,

Father Christmas for Rudolph Day
Well here we are at the penultimate Rudolph day for 2023! Unbelievable!!! I have used a NBUS stamp which came free last year, I think,with a magazine.
It is a Raymond Briggs Father Christmas and quite a large stamp, I coloured him with Promarkers and drew the border round the edge. The paper is out of my stash and was originally in a Simon Says Stamp kit.

Unicorn Birthday
Today I have for you two of the 'same but different' cards. Roy;s great niece is obsessed with unicorns, so I went looking for unicorn stamps and found these sweet ones from Lawn Fawn. I decided to make two cards while I had them out as the little girl next door is 4 later this month.

Pinwheel Tower Card
Earlier in the year I received a pinwheel tower card and have been meaning to have a go at making one ever since. It's only taken me eight months to get round to it!
It was surprisingly easy. The hardest part was deciding how to decorate it. It was for a special blog friend's birthday, who I am fairly certain is very fond of purple.

X Box Fan!
Both my grandsons are big X Box fans! So what better than to make an appropriate card for the eldest. I used an image from Mo's Digital Pencil which I had printed out some time ago, which was fortunate as my computer now says it can't read the image!

One Layer Card
I originally started making this card for Less Is More but then realised it didn't fit the theme, so put it to one side to finish later. It was also a bit of an experiment. I originally intended it to be no line colouring using coloured pencils. It started off quite well and I really liked the effect the pencils had on the textured card. However, I soon gave up on the no line colouring as the stamp is quite small and I couldn't see the lines. Fortunately I had used the Misti and still had the stamp attached so I was able to restamp with black.
