I made two cards for this event. Here is my first card:

For both my cards I used Altenew's Peony Bouquet stamp set.

Here I used masking to create a floral border. I coloured the flowers using white Faber Castell classic pencil and a white gel pen.

The word "merry" is cut using Silhouette and I glittered the alphas to add the christmasy touch.

And my next card is a shaker card!

This one looks a lot like the one I made last year for Advent Calendar Extravaganza but I really wanted to make a typical red and gold Christmas card this time too and followed the inspiration graphic by Altenew. Here I have watercoloured the flowers using distress inks and added black paint splatters to the background.
