Hello everyone: With Christmas just around the corner, my teammates and I at RETRO RUBBER want to encourage you to make one more Holiday card for your stash, from personal experience, you can never have too many Christmas cards to send to family and friends.
This sweet image is from one of my favorite Penny Black children stamps, this little Angel just fills my heart with warmth. The name of the stamp is Ragged Angel, I bought it back in 2015. The sentiment is from a Power Poppy set called Frosted Gingerbread (2014).
I didn't add embellishments, I think she is just so beautiful on her own. I stamped the image with Versafine black ink and colored with watercolors and Prismacolor pencils, I think I've finally achieved a good skin tone using 3 pencils, #939 "Peach", #929 "Pink" and #1034 "Goldenrod", applied very softly and also lightly blended with Gamsol.
I created some snow hills and added some Diamond Dust for a bit of sparkle.
*****************************************************
This is is how the INSIDE of my card looks like.
The Santa and Reindeer and the sentiment images are from a very old (2011) set I bought at Etsy, the little birds on the corner are from a retired SU set called "Christmas Lodge" (2011-2012 Holiday Mini).
So I hope you are inspired to create one more Christmas card and come and join my teammates and me in the RETRO RUBBER gallery.
Remember to use at least one of your stamps that is at least ONE YEAR OLD, please check the rest of our rules on our blog.
Thank you for stopping by, your comments always make my day.
Happy Holidays and my best wishes for Peace, Love and Health in
2020.
Hugs from Maria.

Such sweetness! As always, your coloring is amazing! No embellishments needed at all. ♥
That really is an adorable image and I can see why it's a favorite of yours! Wonderful coloring and I love how she's standing in the glittery snow. Very pretty card!
What a beautiful, sweet stamp this is! You're right about letting her shine on her own. She doesn't need a single thing to make her any better.
Wonderful job coloring this sweet image. You also always do a great job with the interior of the card!
