I just love the Merry Crittermas stamp set and I enjoyed watercolouring the images tremendously.
This is the first card which features two mischievious "bandits" trying to hang Christmas decorations.
Here's the recipe:

Accessories:  Polka dot embossing folder, small oval punch, 1/4" chocolate chip grosgrain ribbon, Silver glass glitter, dazzling diamonds, stampin dimensionals
The second card shows a happy bunny sledding down a tobaggan slope.  Snow is falling and the whole slope glimmers.
Paper: Cherry cobbler, Whisper White, Garden Green, watercolor paper
Ink: Image stamped with Black Stazon and colored with SU markers and an Aquawater brush.  The following colours were used:  Real Red, Chocolate Chip, Crumb Cake, Pacific Point, Marina Mist,Garden Green

awesome Xmas cards, but, for me, a tad bit early; I'd still like to see summer, fall & hallowe'en
