Loved all the challenges this month challenging everyone to get those Christmas cards started.
After making a list of several challenge requirements, I went in search of images, sentiments, embellishments, papers, etc. that could be used to fill those requirements. I ended up finding this sweet angel from a 2016 set to create a couple of cards.
The first card uses a no lines coloring technique.
The second card uses the much more common technique of stamping the image in black so that the lines remain visible.
Both angels were colored with Copic markers.

It took me a minute to realise the angel was the same stamp – fantastic!!! Love them both separately and together! Thanks for joining in at Inkspirational Challenges.
Beautiful cards Susan!! I love all your cards but your Christmas ones are always my favorites.
Oh my goodness, your little angel is the SWEETEST thing ever! Love that no-line coloring! Her little button embellishment sends this over the top! Thanks for sharing this with us at Retro Rubber this week!

Susan, these two cards are absolutely sweet and wonderful Christmas cards, and I love how you’ve used the angel in each card. Sweet and yet so perfect for this wonderful Christmas celebration. And your no-line coloring is amazing! Wow! It’s one of the techniques I hope to work on after my cataract surgery. Hugs and love, and thanks for sharing these.
Beautiful cards what an idea to put a button in her hair. Lovely.
