"Gem" of a Christmas

I recently received my latest stamp order from Pink Gem Designs and hadn't had a chance to play with them, so today, I decided to have a go at them. This first card is made using Mimi & Snowman. Isn't this an adorable image? Janet makes THE best images and the cutest faces!! Go check out her website http://www.pinkgemdesigns.com/. Anyway, I stamped the image onto GP110 white CS using Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored it with Copics. The cardstock is SU- Riding Hood Red and Green Galore. The patterned paper is unknown. It is some I purchased from a 'yard sale' table at my LSS and I didn't see a name on the paper. I layered the image onto white glitter linen paper from S.E.I. The snowflake brad is from Recollections and the self-stick crystals are from Bazzill. Boy, I didn't realize how crooked I had the image until after it scanned! Oops!
My second card uses an image called Rodney Reindeer. What a cutie! Again, the image is stamped using Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto GP 110 white CS and colored with Copics. The cardstock is SU- Tempting Turquoise and Real Red. The patterned paper I THINK might be SU, but I'm not sure. It was a scrap in my box. The "Merry & Bright" sentiment is SU from a retired sentiment set. The large and small brads are from Recollections and the gold metallic ribbon is from Michael's.
Hmm- maybe I'll go add some stickles to the 'snowflake' dots on both of these cards!
Well, now that gives me a big whopping 4 Christmas cards made!! Guess I really should get busy and make some more! It's only a little less than 5 months till Christmas!! Yikes!
