Nellie

I love elephants as well as lions so here is an elephant card.

I tried to use up some paper that was just lying about from the snow couple card. I have so many paper scraps. I even had the nail head stickers laying on my desk so they went on the corners.
This was almost a disaster. I tend to overfill my copics when refilling them. I opened up the C-1 gray and I had a big blob come out. Fortunately I was able to blend it in the right places.

Lion

I love lions. Goes back to my sorority days, I suppose. Our mascot is a lion.

The stamp is from stamping bella. The image is colored with copics. The dp is from bobunny. 
I've decided to make more cards white and then add colors so it is easier to write on the inside and it would be cheaper than using colored paper all the time. We'll see how that goes.

snow people

This is one of my favorite Stubby Stamper Stamps.

Pretty simple. Colored with copics. The snow at the bottom is done with iridescent white scribbles (a fabric paint but who said you couldn't use it on paper). The black dp is from basic grey and the red dotted paper is from bo bunny. That's it. But I think it turned out cute. 
I'm still waiting for snow to come to Pittsburgh.

House Mouse Ornament

Here is an ornament I made using a House Mouse Stamp.

The mouse was stamped on a leather round and then again on paper and colored with copics. The paper one was cut out and glued on the leather. The gold scallops and the poinsettia were done with spellbinders.

Poinsettia Cards

I made a few Christmas cards this year using Stubby Stamps.

 Scor-tape covered with glitter and colored with zig markers. Merry Christmas is a wooden cut-out from Target's One Spot as is the twine.

 Embossed with Egyptian gold and colored with copics. The Merry Christmas is done with an embossing plate from Pat Catan's and colored with copics.

Hope you all had a Merry Christmas!
