Today is reveal day at the Card Chain Challenge! My December card went to Marianne in Greece. I do hope she received it as I haven't heard yet from her.
This is the card I made for her:
I used washi tape around the card then inked the square with Evergreen Bough Distress Oxide ink. I stamped the tree line (an old PSX stamp) using the same ink. Then splattered some white paint onto the background.
The image is Penny Black's Jingle Friends, stamped using Versafine Onyx ink and colored with my Faber Castell Polychromos pencils, then fussy cut. As mentioned I heat embossed the image using the same Evergreen Bough ink sprinkled with super fine clear embossing powder. Before adding the image I removed the washi tape and then also added the die cut snowflakes (Penny Black Dancing Snowflake die set). Frosted Lace Stickles was applied to Santa's coat fur trim and the die cut snowflakes.

this is so cute, love the colours and the sparkle. The card you received is pretty amazing too xx
The clean and elegant inked background makes a beautiful scene for Santa. I also love how the fur trimmings on his outfit look. Wishing you Happy New Year!

Darling Santa with Rudolph - love your coloring, Ellie! And what a beautiful, soft scene behind too! Happy New Year!!
Love the soft background with the beautifully coloured cute image! How funny that we not only chose the same row but some of the same techniques too (masking a square and inking it as well as the splatters). Happy new year!
Your card is just adorable and hits everything on your chosen row. Santa and the deer are so adorably cute. So glad you liked my card. :)
So glad to hear it arrived on time!!
What a fabulous card Ellie - your pencil colouring is amazing! I am in awe.

Your cards is so adorable!! I really liked the challenge of trying to make a card using the grid (I picked the 3rd vertical).
Fantastic pencil colouring - and I love this cute card!
Adorable card, love so much the cute scene with Santa and his reindeer and the delimited background! I never think to do this, but it's so effective, thanks for sharing.
Very cute Christmas card for your swap partner Ellie. You received a lovely card in return. Nice challenge xxx
