Fancy and Cute... Sweet Dixie by Tracey Fairgrieve

Fancy and Cute... Sweet Dixie
Today I share a double helping of Christmas card creations using Sue Dix Sweet Dixie stamps from Personal Impressions.

The first stamp set is Sweet Dixie Fancy Reindeer  a mighty fine stamp full of detail and very fancy indeed. Stamped onto distressed stamping card with versafine black onyx ink and heat embossed using sweet dixie clear embossing powder. The main image has been coloured using Spectrum Noir Colorista muted colours sets 5 and 6.


The hanging baubles, Reindeer coat and holly have all been stamped twice, cut and layered onto of the image to add depth and dimension. The Merry Christmas sentiment is just one of two included in the set. The card has been mat and layered using complimentary colours and embellished with twine and a flat back pearl snowflake.

 

The second card share is Sweet Dixie Cute Snowman stamps, designed by Sue Dix from her 2016 clear stamp Christmas Collection from Personal impressions.


The white background has been created using die cut snowflakes from Sue's Let is Snow Sweet Dixie die set adhered to the same quality card. The Snowman image has been stamped and coloured using promarkers, various elements have been stamped more than once, coloured, cut and layered on top to add dimension.

 




The sentiment is one of three within this set. this one seemed quite fitting. 
Ranger Stickles and Glossy Accents add the final touch to this Cute little Snowman.

Thank you for taking a peek and sharing your creative time with me. 
Have a sweet day..
