Wow!  You guys have been busy.  LeighAnn, are you taking coloring courses?  I'm so impressed with the coloring and blending on your pieces.  You used so many different coloring mediums and they worked together beautifully.

Heidi, I love your snowflake card (with the HA shadow inks), and your Christmas tree cards are winners too.

I love seeing the cards being posted.

I finished a card from the last of the odds and end I had stamped out.  After this, I will need to actually stamp out some stuff and not just assemble.

LeighAnn, I agree with Daria, it does look like you have been taking coloring courses.

Aww, thanks Daria and Heidi! No classes, just lots of practice and watching you tube videos.

I've learned a lot about coloring from Sandy Allnock's YouTube channel. Even though a lot of her videos are regarding copics(and I don't have any of those) I find her tips so useful.
I also like Krisitna Werner, wplus9 and the frugal crafters channels  for coloring techniques.

LeighAnn, thanks for the tips.  I had those blogs saved, and now I've also saved a direct link to the corresponding You Tube channels.

I don't have Copic Markers either.  Well, I have three (the palest blue for shadowing, one to quickly color skin on small images, and the blender which removes color).  Still, when they came out, I watched some of the videos on I Love Markers, and like you, I found the tips there useful for coloring with other media.  I just dabbled though and didn't really delve into it.  You are really putting what you've learned to use, and I love the results.

Nora, those are really cute cards.  I like what you used for snow.  Star Dust isn't as sparkly as the other Stickles, but it makes the best snow. 

Thank you for playing.

Nora, I love your cards.  Those birds are so darn cute, and I like the watercoloring you did.

Thanks for playing.

I created a Christmas card today using a technique I learned in my Craftsy Watercolor Cards made easy class and a new Lawn Fawn stamp set I just got today!

I can't wait to create more with this stamp set.  It is a fun Christmas set, but the bunnies can be used for so many cards!

Heidi and Nora, it was so nice to find new Christmas cards in the gallery when I checked in.  Love 'em all!  I don't know if I'll be able to make any cards this month, but I'll be coming back here for inspiration when I finally get back to the craft room.

Thank you for participating.

Daria, I am sorry you haven't had time to work on your Christmas cards!  It is fun to look at everyone's cards.  I just love the bird stamp that Nora used!  Sparkle and Sprinkle has several lovely birds!

Heidi, I love the background paper you stamped with the colorful snowflakes.

Your snowflake embellishments reminded me of all the little stars I have saved from a border stamp.  I need to use them this year!

Thank you for playing.

We still have a week to go before July is over.  I'm still hoping to get a start on my Christmas cards.
