Christmas All Year 2017 - October

[Iring]

Let's get right to it, as I'm already late!

This month's carol/prompt is "O Tannenbaum".

There are so many nice tree images out there, or fashion your own out of sprig stamps or anything else you can think of.

Sorry, I am late with the prompt.  We spent last week in upstate NY on vacation and visiting with relatives.  We were lucky that we had beautiful weather most of the time.  The leaves were just about at peak up in the Adirondacks.  We drove up and took a chair lift ride with a wonderful view at McCauley Mtn., near Old Forge. 

I look forward to seeing your "O Tannenbaum" inspired cards!

Thanks for the prompt. I will work on some cards soon. I have just about enough Christmas cards now, but a few more won't hurt if I need some extra.

Thanks for hosting. I do have a couple tree stamps I could use!  I am not sure how many cards I have made this year, but I do know I have been having trouble making them lately!

I built my tree using floral scroll stamps. Not sure I'm all that crazy about the results, but I don't completely dislike it. It was an interesting exercise.

You grew a fancy tree Daniel!  I like the flower stamps in it.  They make it festive!  Thanks for playing and posting!

Here is my first entry. I hope to make 2 more cards soon.

That really is such a cute card April!  I love how you placed the sequins on the trees!

Finally!  I have a card for my own challenge, that happened while working on April's INK17 This and That challenge.

I used a Hero Arts layering stamp set and matching dies.  I only made one card for now, but this might be fun to do assembly line style and make a few more for my Christmas stash.

merry christmas!

One more for O Tannenbaum!

I really like how this Christmas card came out.  I made about 8 of this image.

That is a really classy card, Nora!  Hooray for making 8 of them!

I focused on just one branch of a majestic tannenbaum.
I used several stamps from a set Heidi rak'd me. I did surgery on the toys to separate them.
The pine stamp is courtesy of April.
To see why Santa's wearing green, see the gallery upload.

I have been working on Christmas cards.  I had stamped some focals and just getting around to putting them together.  I got this stamp at a resale store, love the car, know grandkids will too.

I did two with wisemen, I started months ago.
One is watercolored but not on watercoloredpaper and is streaked but I like the effect.
The other was done with ink blending, I restamped wisemen and colored with markers and pop dotted them in place,

Daniel,

I was wondering where you got those tiny toy/ornament stamps!  Stamp surgery!  They are the perfect size for your pine branches.  Thanks for the info on Santas being other than red.

Yankee,

So glad you finished your wise men cards.  I love the way you colored them and like you, I think the streaks give the watercolor one character.  They are both very pretty.
