I thought a nice bright Christmas card would perk things up, and I've used this adorable Santa Bear image from Just Inklined. I've coloured with copics, adding lots of glamour dust to the fur (not showing up to much...blame the dark day!), then used the 'out of the box technique' to cut it out. A bit too early for Christmas trees yet, so we made do with decorating a leafy vine. (lol)
The papers are from the Basic Grey Jovial collection, and just a pretty bow, a few gems and a bit of doodling finish it off. Ahhh, another one done.....and it will easily go in the mail!
Tools used:
Martha Stewart - Zig Zag Edger punch
Spellbinders dies - Labels Twelve and Fancy Tags Three
Whimsey Stamps - Vines die
Thanks for dropping by, and hope you can have a great day!
