Hello! It has been so dreary recently, in my neck of the woods. This morning we have a tiny covering of snow outside, but the streets were clear. I was worried it would be too dark to photograph my card, but I think it turned out okay.
I’ve noticed that some of you are crafting and posting, at a usual rate. While I have really slowed down. I find that I actually craft more right around Christmas, than the beginning of the month. We will see if that pans out this year, as well.
I made a card this morning with a charming stamp that takes up the whole card front. This makes Christmas cards easier, as I just needed to add some matting to finish off the card.
I colored the image, Merry Christmas Bird Houses, with alcohol markers, and then I added the details and shading with colored pencils. I find that this helps speed up the coloring process.

What a gorgeous image here Heidi! Beautiful colorin and love the stamped background as well! It's snowy over my way too! I'm still trying to "get in gear" in sending out my cards...sometimes I get a bit late in doing that! LOL! I sometimes get more motivated AFTER Christmas is over with. I don't know why?! LOL!
What a wonderful card, the colours are so bright and cheery lovely images too, Kate x x
I wanted to pop on over and see who makes this cool stamp that you created your gorgeous card with. I'm going to check them out :)
Oh my! Your colours and colouring really grabbed me at "hello". I love this card a lot.
Beautiful coloring! I never think to mix markers and colored pencils, but it looks great! I love the bright colors you used on the white; it's such a cheery card. And the black and red mat and base finish it off perfectly!
Like you, I go through periods where I am very productive in my craft room and then I go through periods where I just can't seem to find my mojo. Unfortunately, that seems to be where I am now. Hope it's a fast-moving phase and I find it soon!
Great little scene and wonderfully colored too. This is a beautiful card design.
Beautiful, lovely coloring, I still haven't tried adding shading with pencils yet, you did a wonderful job with it. That is nice that all you had to add was a matting for it!
Lovely card Heidi, I am having a break soon and will slow down apart from scheduled DT post.
The birdhouses look so cute and fun with the Christmas banner hanging in front of them. Super cute card with some amazing coloring too! I've slowed down because I'm on a serious learning curve with a new PC and need to find some photo editing software soon! LOL
A fabulous card. I adore this stamp and you have wonderfully colored it.
Beautifully colored, Heidi. We got just a touch of snow on the tree branches. I think winter has arrived.
This is such a cheerful holiday card with it's bright/happy colors! I love the green snowflakes in the background!
Cute card, Heidi, and beautifully colored. Ugh, I wish I hadn't slowed down but I did because I got sick and still not quite up to par. Worked all year on Christmas cards and still need to address and mail. I'm slowly getting the feeling my best-laid plans gonna fall to bits. Merry Christmas! haha oh well, hope your holidays plans are going smoothly! xoxo
Love the fabulous colouring - so vibrant.
