.... Good afternoon, it's another lovely day and I've been indoors! I've made a set of five Christmas cards for my stash - they are all inspired by the current challenge at 52 Christmas Card Throwdown to use letters and/or numbers - 52CCT2026-07.
Inks: Versafine Clair - Nocturne; Gina K - Jelly Bean Green
Dies: Gina K - Master Layouts 2
Accessories: White Card; Copic Markers; Grabie Jumbo Glitter Gel Pens; Kaisercraft DP - Home for Christmas
This card is also being submitted The Neglected Stuff Challenge - NSC#0226 - it's been a very long time since I used any of my design paper pads!!
The same process was used for all the cards. I used my MISTI to stamp the image on white card, removed them from the MISTI and coloured each image with Copic markers. I returned the coloured images to the MISTI and restamped with Versafine Clair Nocture ink - it is a really dark black. I carefully cut out all the images and then added some shimmer to each image with Grabie Jumbo Glitter Gel pens. I had put the images aside overnight to make sure gel ink dried completely. I used a die to cut out the front panel from design paper - to match the colours on the focal image - and adhered to an A2 notecard. I used dimensional tape to add the focal image. On the inside of each card, there is a mat layer of design paper, and on the white panel a simple greeting with a couple of stars to match the main colour.
The next card in the set is being entered into AAA Colourful - AAAC#25 - these are such lovely colours.
Stamps: Woodware - Christmas Date; Hero Arts - Christmas Messages, Stylized Christmas Trees
Inks: Versafine Clair - Nocturne; Gina K - Blue Sky
Dies: Gina K - Master Layouts 2
Accessories: White Card; Copic Markers; Grabie Jumbo Glitter Gel Pens; Kaisercraft DP - Violet Crush
Next is a card inspired by the image at Time Out Challenge - TOC#307 - I like the soft colours and the dotty pattern:

Inks: Versafine Clair - Nocturne; Gina K - Lovely Lavender
Dies: Gina K - Master Layouts 2
Accessories: White Card; Copic Markers; Grabie Jumbo Glitter Gel Pens; Kaisercraft DP - Silver Bells
For the next card I used the colours at The Color Hues Challenge - CH#127 - peach and teal are such a pretty combination and make for an unusual Christmas card:
Stamps: Woodware - Christmas Date; Hero Arts - Christmas Messages, Stylized Christmas Trees
Inks: Versafine Clair - Nocturne; Gina K - Sweet Mango
Dies: Gina K - Master Layouts 2
Accessories: White Card; Copic Markers; Grabie Jumbo Glitter Gel Pens; Kaisercraft DP - Storyteller
And the final card in this set of five, is inspired by ABC Christmas Challenge - ABCXMAS#02 where I've picked C for the colour crimson:
Stamps: Woodware - Christmas Date; Hero Arts - Christmas Messages, Stylized Christmas Trees
Inks: Versafine Clair - Nocturne; Gina K - Red Hot
Dies: Gina K - Master Layouts 2
Accessories: White Card; Copic Markers; Grabie Jumbo Glitter Gel Pens; Kaisercraft DP - Home for Christmas
