Snappy Holidays

Good morning!  It's time for Clearly Digi Stamps (Clear Dollar Stamps) December release...I always look forward to seeing and working with the new sets and this month was no exception!  The sets I'll be showcasing today are Cute Critters and Flower Garden.

First, I have used the fun set "Cute Critters"; it includes outlines, pre-colored images, sentiments and a selection of papers.  It isn't a holiday set, but I wanted to show the versatility of the images and created a Christmas card.  The turtle is colored with pencils and accented with glitter...I imagine even turtles like to get their glam on!  I distressed my papers a bit, added a silver bow, lots of silver brads and a computer generated sentiment.

I am entering this card in the following challenges:

Next, I have used an image from Austin Owen's "Flower Garden" collection.  I like to go clean and simple with Austin's images, so the image will shine.  The iris is printed, colored with pencils, accented with some bling, and layered onto a white card base.
