I made some cards

I did get to make cards today on World Card Making Day. I actually started on Christmas cards!

Here are the two cards that I completed:

The first one is for a release challenge at StampTV to make a 2 3/4 x 4 1/4 card. I've never made this size but I like it. I'm thinking that it would make a cute place card for a dinner table with the right image and words. The sentiment and image are from GKD Simple Pleasures. I colored the image with Prismacolor pencils and OMS.

The second one is the Christmas card. It's also for a StampTV release challenge to use two sets from one set. I used two different ones from A Very Merry Christmas. I stamped the one on the background and heat embossed it using Stampendous jeweled gold. I love how it sparkles. The picture does not do it justice. Sometimes embossing doesn't turn out so well for me, but this did beautifully on the Gina K cardstock, so I embossed enough for a set of six and also embossed the tree from this stamp set six times for another set.
