I'm sharing another commission for two Christmas cards for 6 and 4 year old granddaughters. The 6 year old loves unicorns and purple is her favorite color (mine, too!) and the 4 year old loves flamingos and her favorite color is pink. Their Nana chose the images from many which I have in my collection and I did card designs which complement each other in style.
First, the Flamingo:
I don't know who drew this image. It was in my collection of clip art. I colored the image with my ProMarkers, then die cut it with an Unbranded die.
I dug out a Cheery Lynn die to cut the hat and scarf but had to add the pointy bit and the pompom myself since the hat was just a simple stocking cap and I wanted it to look more like a Santa hat. I colored the brim with white gel ink. I folded the scarf piece before adding it to the flamingo's neck.
The sentiment was cut with a die from Die-Versions, and I added a glittery snowflake for some texture.
Challenges for this card:

Next, the Unicorn:
This unicorn is an image from Bugaboo Stamps. Again, I colored with ProMarkers, adding gold paint pen to the unicorn horn, then used the same Unbranded die to cut the image. The hat is cut with that same Cheery Lynn die and I added the pointy bit and the pompom to make it into a Santa hat. The 'fur' is done with white gel pen.
I used the same die cut to cut the sentiment and added another glittered snowflake. I think these two sisters will love their cards. ;-D

That's it, my friends. I trust you are on top of all the holiday things which seem to mount up during the last few days before Christmas. How nice it is to NOT be the home to which the entire family will flock for Christmas dinner. I love letting someone else in the family do all the cleaning and cooking and decorating while I simply travel to their house for the festivities. :-D Happy Crafting. NanaConnie
