A couple of Gina K Christmas Cards

Most cards I'm making lately for challenge and whatever seem to be Christmas cards!
So, I figured I'd better get to posting them!

This was for STVTC40 over on StampTV.

I used the sakura clear glaze pen over the house and snow so that I could sponge in the sky and it not 'color' the image too.

The moon was a circle that I sponged over, then removed.

This was for STVSC39 over on StampTV.
LOVED this sketch!!
