Oh Camel-ye Faithful

Good Morning everyone.  Thank you for the amazing comments on my last card.

Today im sharing a fun set of Christmas cards, using these quirky camel stamps from hobbyart.  Ive kept the cards quite simple and just let the images stand out.

6x6 White base card.  Very unusually for me i covered the whole card front with patterned paper and no mats and layers, it just seemed to work better this time.   I then die cut a white frame and after working out where i would put it i stamped my greeting, i then attached the frame with foam tape to add some height. 
I then stamped out the 3 camels and very simply coloured with alcohol markers.  I then stamped out the hats and tie and coloured with red wink of stella pens so they really shimmer in the light.   I then fussy cut everything out. I gently shaped the camels and slotted into the frame with glue gel. 
I added glossy accents to their eyes and dots of pearl drops to the hats.  I also added touches of glitter glue to the background papers to add a touch of festive sparkle. 


A close up on my camels - I rarely colour in images with my alcohol pens as im no expert at colouring and don't have the patience to build up all the layers but i enjoyed colouring these guys in.  I used warm greys for their fur. For the extra party hats and ties i used stamps from the Tim Holtz crazy birds accessories - they fit perfectly.


Just different paper in the background, blue eyeshadow on these guys and a bow tie.  


Items Used:
Hobbyart stamps (CS178D) Oh camel ye faithful
Tim Holtz crazy birds accessory stamps
Various Designer papers
Scalloped frame die
Alcohol markers
wink of stella pens
Diamond Stickles glitter glue

Thank you all for stopping by once again.  I hope that you all have a great weekend.
