For your chance to win: Comment on the following Design Team members' blogs TODAY before midnight EDT. There will be ONE random winner chosen from the comments on today's Blog Hop blogs. That winner will win Christmas in the Country and Snowball?. We will announce the winner's name on tomorrow's MFP blog post.
This first card is from"Snowball?" A really cute set that I'm sure to be reaching for many times. I colored the image with Copic's and the card stock and ribbon is MFP. The ornament die is from Spellbinder's and glitter was applied by following Faith's tutorial to add the glitter, sorry it doesn't show up well, better if you click on the photo for a larger view.
My next two cards are from "Country Christmas" and I just love this country scene. Both images were done the same just with a different color. So easy to do this, all I did was sponge all around the image going with a lighter touch as I got towards the center. With Copic's I pulled up some strokes to simulate trees in the back ground. I also added some darker color to the shadows. I then added white gel pen to make my snow.
Here in blue tones.

Oh my! The church cards are absolutely amazing! I love them!
Geri your cards are gorgeous. I need to try your technique for sponging the color on the image. I am gaga over the sepia colored Church-that looks amazing girlfriend!!! Of course, you made that Santa look absolutely darling too!

Your church scenes are fantastic....must try that look. Especially like the sepia tones...like everything about that card....will have to have the set just to case your card. The church in blue is stunning too...great sponging!!! And the glitter shows on your Santa card.
Wonderful cards today as usual Geri, but your "little brown church" scene blows them all away!!
