I thought for this month’s Get Cracking on Christmas I would share a couple of my favorite cards we created at My Creative Journey Art Retreat earlier this month.

Using some of Stacey Yacula Design from Purple Onion Designs we created this fun card. Almost all one layer- using masking we created this fun scene and colored in with Copics. I can’t get enough of these adorable critters and with my love for snowman, I just adore this!

For the second card, we used some more adorable Stacey Yacula images. The iceberg and mountain background was all stamped with Lawn Fawn River Rock Premium Ink. This ink works with Copics AND watercoloring. I love that we have gray now- perfect for winter scenes.

The watercoloring was done with a wet on wet method using Distress Oxides. Blueprint Sketch, Worn Lipstick, Picked Raspberry and Seedless Preserves.

The seal was colored with Copic markers and fussy cutout.

I also splattered a bit of Lawn Fawn Liquid Stardust in the background for some snow.

Adding these to the stack of Holiday cards I have made so far this year. You can see all the inspiration here

I have some friends joining me this month- head on over and check out their creations!
