Friendship Shared

Not everyone is celebrating Christmas in a cold climate, so this card if for all of you (oh I am so envious!!) who are celebrating this occasion in a warm climate.  I thought this stamp set, with a few additions was perfect for the occasion - and could be a children's card as well.

To make this stamp into a Christmas card, I used the stamp set Jolly Bingo bits to put a cardinal on the wagon, a Santa hat on the little girl, and a Christmas present next to the sentiment.  I also colored the boy's shirt red, and the girl's dress green (with fur on her collar).  I used white liquid applique (non SU) on the girl's collar and on the Santa hat; dazzling diamonds on the christmas present.  To make the wagon look like metal, I applied Crystal Effects.

Jolly - Try Stampin' on Tuesday #38

Brrrrr!! There was a heavy frost on the ground this morning and for the first time I had to scrape ice off my car window.  Halloween is tomorrow, and then the Christmas season goes into full swing.
For Try Stampin' on Tuesday  here I made another Christmas card.

I used the Letters to Santa designer paper to provide a background for the images.  It was double embossed using the Starburst embossing folder and Iridescent Ice embossing powder.
