A Skiing Gnome, a Fawn and a Deer.

Hi Everyone I've been busy adding to my Christmas stash so I thought it was time to share a few cards with you.
All the stamps used in the cards below are from Lesia Zgharda. Lesia is in the Ukraine and still managing to design and sell her stamps so please support her if you can.
The images are all coloured with pencils and I used a Posca white fine tip pen for the white highlights.


I am so in love with this little fawn, he's so totally adorable and fits nicely into the ornament.
I filled the ornament with Glossy accent to make it look like glass.

And here's mum ♥


I'm entering my cards to the following Challenges

Three sweet cards. I love that little fawn all curled up asleep. So precious. The gnome is adorable and mum in the ornament is gorgeous with those big eyes.

Three beautiful Christmas creations Christine and love that sweet gnome and the cute deer and fawn, all great images from Lesia, and the embossed sentiment on all four sides of the square on the first, and the sweet fawn placed inside the bauble and with lots of wonderful pine branches, and then the delightful Sweet Poppy bauble, and the bright red berries really pop, with the doe inside are all brilliant designs. x

Wonderful cards using Lesia's amazing images, Christine. I will definitely check out her stamps. The gnome is so fun, and the two deer are sweet, especially with them tucked inside an ornament. xx

Three fabulous cards, Christine. I love the two ornaments with the mum and the baby deer - great way to show off two alternate ways of doing ornaments. And your skiing gnome is so cute. Wonderful framing with the sentiment on each side. Thank you so much for joining us at Peace on Earth with it!

That gnome is just adorable and thanks for the link to the images. Outstanding coloring with pencil on the fawns in the baubles! I may have to have those images. These are so well done.

WOW! The tea stamps are really beautiful! I love how he used them. A bauble with a little deer inside is such a sweet idea. I also love that stencil bauble. It always delights me.
hugs,

Beautiful stamps and cards. The deer is especially sweet. Fab cards, Christine. Hugz

Carol said...

Your cards are works of art! Beautiful coloring! The gnome card has such a pretty border too. I am guessing that the gnome is humorous because he is skiing, right? All I see is your artistic talent in all three cards. Thank you for adding your very creative abilities to our gallery at Christmas Craft Creations.
