I was pouring over card designs and love the look of stamp image collages. So I made my own. I cut the frames with my silhouette and then used the insides as templates on some watercolor paper. I sketched a Christmas doodle for each and used alcohol markers to color them, then finished each with white ink. The card bases were embossed with a diagonal stripe and I cut the sentiment using a die cutter. I used dimensional foam to lift three of the “stamps” on each card for extra dimension.

I was so impressed because I knew you had done each one of those stamps individually! At first I thought they were stickers because they are so perfect, but, upon closer inspection, I could see the watercolors and lines of hand work!
I love my card and I love how you made these so special.Each “stamp” is a tiny snippet of the winter holidays!
These are adorable!!! I love the individual drawings. Outlining them in white gives them such a sweet, holiday feel. I think the gingerbread house is my favorite. You had some lucky partners!

Did you make copies of your finished doodles? I have had success in printing art on index paper and re-using the art to make other things. I can see these doodles in future cards, tags, etc.
I didn’t. I do scan a lot of my larger pieces, in case I want to make prints later, but not my card stuff. I kind of like that they’re one off doodles though .
Wow! I am impressed that you drew and colored each image by hand. I thought they were stamped images when I first saw the thumbnail. I hope the recipients cherish them!
‘Tis the season to be crafty! This awesome project is featured this week!
