This is definitely a favorite set from Marcella's 2018 holiday release. It's gorgeous, lots of sentiments, and many different card designs are possible. I made my card long and low -- 3 3/4" x 9" -- and happily have some pretty blue envelopes to match.
It's colored with Copics. The wall (or fence) is white cardstock scored every 1/4" and swiped with gray ink. I used an old Spellbinders die set for the sentiment, attached with brads. The snow splatters are lightly diluted white acrylic paint.
Inside is this skinny sentiment with one little holly sprig and a whole lot of white space.
Total Christmas cards: 31
I'm still keeping up with The Daily Marker 30 Day Coloring Challenge, doing a little something every day. It's been fun! I've even done some non-Christmas cards. Back soon! Have a happy day!
This is lovely my friend! I love making things for Christmas and sometimes want to continue into the new year. I always wind up with a few to hold onto for next year. Nothing like an early start. Your coloring is spectacular as always!
