Holiday Blog Hop - PND & DDS

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]

Hey All! Today I am participating in the Holiday Blog Hop with a collaboration between The Paper Nest Dolls and Digi Doodle Studio. It has been so much fun coloring these images together from both companies, a real holiday treat.





If you are following along on the blog hop you are coming here from Judy's blog and her beautiful creation with Joe Frost and Holiday Friends. She made such a pretty card!

For my card I used Stringing Popcorn from The Paper Nest Dolls and Gnome Santa from Digi Doodle Studio.



It was so much fun coloring both of them. I had a great time with Gnome Santa's clothes and boots.



The whole card really was a lot of fun to play with. I had a great time positioning the two digital stamps together. In my eyes that is one of the fun things about digital stamps, placing them together and at any size you like. It is also nice to have that instant gratification of not having to wait for the stamps to be shipped... along with ease of storage! If I had all my digital stamps as physical stamps... goodness I would have no space.



The card looked unfinished to me even after putting all the elements on it. So I felt that it needed a sentiment. Needing a sentiment on the front is odd for me to think of on my own because I normally like to leave them blank for when I decide I want to use them. However... this one had the perfect one... "Believe In the magic of the season". I decided to do a little gold embossing, which I hardly ever do as well, so this card was just really bringing it all out in me.



The Copic markers I used are:

  7. Oh my, Cristena, there is not a detail on your card that I don't like. What a lovely and stunning "work of heart" -- from the coordination and lovely coloring/shading of your Santa and elf, down to the tiniest detail. Great die cuts, embossed sentiment, gem flourish, background, etc. Do you need my address, so you can send it my way - hahaha!! Merriest of Christmases to you!
