Serendipity Simple Christmas

Good morning. I am taking a break from the Halloween cards today to bring you this week's Serendipity Stamps DT challenge. This week, we were challenged to make simple (one layer, limited embellishments) Christmas cards. I let Serendipity's outstanding images speak for themselves and created these cards (you can find their Winter and Christmas images here).

This card uses the Birch Candles image and Simple Merry Christmas sentiment. I colored my image with Copic markers and then accented with some coordinating Martha Stewart Crafts glitter. I finished it off with a simple knot of baker's twine.

My second card features one of my favorite Serendipity images, the Cozy Village.


I used the Cozy Village Cling Set, which also includes the sentiment used. I love the font and curvy lines.

I colored this image using ink pads and an Aquapainter. Then I gave everything a healthy dose of glitter - it is a snow-covered village after all! I really love this simple card.

I'm so glad you stopped by today, please be sure to visit the other Design Team members to see their take on the challenge!
