Hi Everyone
Oh I am having so much fun .. .. .. I love Christmas and am slowly getting that "giggly tummy" feeling!! I must be unbearable to live with because I just get so excited.
Lots of Christmas cards to make and I am getting quite a few made and thought I would share a very quick one with you here. Really simple and quick (which is just what I need) but "different" in that it uses what are not traditionally seen as Christmas colours.
I treated myself to a set of Koh-I-Noor pencils and decided to try them out on a simple image.
I love these pencils!!! You need to blend the pencils with paper stumps and Sansodor oil but it was so easy and I think gives a really good effect - and this used only one of the 24 colours in the set. I don't think I did bad for my first time!!
I got my supplies from Elzybells - and if you also visit the blog you will find there are tutorials to show you different ways to blend and shade your images.
So, here is my creation

Those Reindeers are the cutest!
They look like they are about to get upto some mischief ;-)
What a beautiful card! I love your choice of colours and the reindeer are really cute! Glad to hear you treated yourself. Your colouring looks fab! I'm trying to be good at the moment, but meeting up with Brenda next weekend at Sir Stampalot could seriously affect my bank balance!!!
This is a lovely card Jules, I like one's that deviate from the 'norm', the colours are really nice, love it.
Thank you for the lovely message you left on my blog.
Hi, Jules! Totally get the Koh-i-Noor love.. Was only singing their praises myself a couple or three days ago. Cool card, mrs.
Hugs,

Aww, they're cute! I've not seen that image before either! It's great when you find a new medium to use. I use Lyra pencils with sansador sometimes and I just love how they blend together with no harsh lines. Your colouring looks fab! x
Hiya Jules

I also love your smart, clean designs.
Hope you are well.
Take care
