More Scenic Christmas Cards

Awhile back I showed several scenic Christmas cards that I made.  Here's what I did with the other scenes I created at that time.  Note that most of the stamps were ones my Mom had.  If they are mine, I note who made them.

Card #1 (above):  The focal was colored with scroll & brush markers - sometimes direct to paper, sometimes scribbled on my craft mat and picked up with a water brush.  I embossed a background panel using my Darice Snowflake Background embossing folder.  Then I inked it with distress ink.  I die cut the scene into a circle - then die cut a white mat to go behind it before creating the back mat layer - die cut with a Spellbinders Splendid Circles die. The sentiment is a greeting from a Debbi Moore download.

Inside:

Inside are mats I found in my scraps - along with another Debbi Moore greeting.

Card #2:

I thought this was such a cute scene!  I colored it with Inktense pencils & a water brush.  The background paper came in a swap, and the greeting is another from Debbi Moore.

Inside:

I thought this Debbi Moore "Dear Santa please give me presents. I've been very good" was a great embellishment for the inside. That with a scrap of the patterned paper is all that's needed.

Card #3:

Here I've once again colored the focal with Scroll & Ink markers & a water brush.  The vellum background is only attached to the card front behind the focal.  Snowflake stickers from my stash & another Debbi Moore message completes the card front.

Inside:

 

Inside I've added a greeting - another of my Mom's stamped - stamped with distress ink.

 

Card #4:

 

This is my least favorite of all the scenes.  The focal was another stamped image - put together from Mom's stamps & colored with Scroll & Brush markers & a water brush.  These were backed with a couple of die cut mats (Spellbinders Beaded Circles for the white, and Nellie's Multi Frames Flower for the aqua).  The background was created with ink & a wavy card stock piece that I used as a stencil.  I cut part of the wavy stencil with a die that had little houses on it.  I decided that part didn't look right just used as a stencil, so I die cut some of the houses from white & colored them.  That now looked quite out of place with the rest, so I die cut some more & put a little one over the stamped house that had been there originally - just to try and tie it in better.  The greeting is from Debbi Moore.

Inside:

Another stamped greeting (Mom's stamp again) and a die cut piece with more houses & inking completed the inside.
