Triple Christmas Card Catchup

Here we are at the last day of the month with me hussling to get that monthly Christmas Card Challenge done! I had to do 3 today to complete the challenge. While I was grumbling to myself I thought "hey, better to only have to rush to do 3 today than to rush to do 60 in December, right?!?!" Then I felt better.

My first card was inspired by this card from Today's Featured Stamper, Rox71. I changed the sketch, the images just a bit (but kept the same feel), and I accidentally went WAY darker on the color scheme. The sketch was from this week's OCC challenge.

Stamps: A Muse Santa’s Silhouette, Lovely as a Tree
Paper: Whisper White, Soft Sky
Ink: Soft Sky, Blue Bayou, Not Quite Navy, Night of Navy, Black
Accessories: White gel pen, Sky Blue Ribbon from Pink Hedgehog

My next card was a "quickie" inspired by this card from Rox71. I left off the half circle embellishments, used different but similar stamps, and reduced the number of layers (sorry, I'm not so good and photographing shiny things!).

Stamps: Snowfall, Sincere Salutations, Autumn Leaves Swirls VI
Paper: Real Red, Silver metallic from Mike’s
Ink: Versamark
Accessories: Silver detail embossing powder and Winter Wonderland embossing powder both from Mike’s, heat gun

And for my 3rd and final card....I started this one a while ago and just finished today. The sketch is based on Taylored Expressions Cupcake Challenge # 65. Normally, I center this floor image but for this sketch, I moved it as far to the left as I could. This made the floor draw your eyes right up to the kitty. If I had centered the floor, your eyes would have been confused as to where to go.

Stamps: High Hopes Callie Christmas Kitty, Digi Floor you can find here
Paper: Creamy Caramel, Riding Hood Red, Basic Grey Wassail DP
Ink:
Accessories: Copics, Prismacolor pencils and Goo Gone, glitter pen

Enjoy!
