CIP - Family Christmas Wishes

Hello there Creative Inspirations Paint fans!  I hope that you're all enjoying this holiday season in whatever way you choose to celebrate!

This sweet little gal is from Whimsie Doodles, such a cute image!  I've colored her in Copics and went over the pink with Creative Inspirations Paint in the Pink Highlights, and the white under the 'fur' in Winter Frost.  I've cut a paper doily in half and sprayed it with glimmer mist, the flowers are IAR, and the pretty crocheted piece behind the largest flower was done by my Mom.

Here is the Creative Inspirations Paint used:

CIP - Reindeer in Paint and Glitter

Hi CIP fans!  I have a trio of cards to share with you today.  These fun little reindeer die cuts are from a die that I've had for a while, and I've used some wonderful Creative Inspirations Paint in Copper to paint them.  Their hooves and antlers are painted in Chocolate, and the antlers have been glittered with Resplendence Angel Dust by Creative Inspirations Paint.  I couldn't resist adding a bit of Garnet paint to the collar, and added some of the Jeweled Inspirations (Siam and Clear) Bling to their noses and collars as well.

Christmas Caroler Card

This little Christmas Caroler comes from CC Designs, and the Deck the Halls stamps is from a Recollections set.  I've colored her in pink and gone over her long gown in Creative Inspirations Paint Pink Highlights.  The die cut behind the little Caroler is painted in Rustic Red.  I've just added some IAR and Recollections roses, along with some bling to fill in and add to the sparkle.

Merry Christmas Cards

This was another stamp I decided to use for a set of cards for my Mom.  The Merry Christmas image is from a Recollections stamp set, and I've actually stamped it using one of those cute little Studio G stamp pads.  The lace is some I had in my stash, and I've glittered up the trees in the background to add a bit of sparkle to the cards.

Christmas Trees from TAWS

I've been busy working away at Mom's Christmas card list, so over the next few days I will try to get the completed ones posted.  Most of these are the cards that have to be mailed, so they are fairly flat to make that easier for her (and less expensive because they sure do add up when you make them 5.5 x 5.5).

I've used a cute freebie from The Alley Ways Stamps.  It's a trio of Christmas trees that I've cut apart and placed on a die cut and paper doily before adhering them to the card front.  I've colored them with Copics and added a touch of glitter pen to each (gold on one, silver on the other).

The Challenges I'm entering are:

C.R.A.F.T. Challenge - #184 - Christmas
Cute Card Thursday - #246 - Red and Green
Paper Playtime Challenge - #90 - Christmas Colors
Fussy and Fancy Challenge - #77 - I Love Christmas
The Pink Elephant Challenge - #178 - Photo Inspiration
