Another beautiful day, here in my neck of the woods...so why did I wake up with a headache? Living in the country, it's probably allergies, but I did check the weather to make sure there were no storms in the forecast. Oh, the pleasures of getting older, as we become weather barometers!
So how about a Christmas card, and a reminder of winter with it's snow and ice....and of course it also brings visions of excited little children's faces and Santa Claus. Today's card is using a fabulous image from
The Best of Just Inklined 2012 CD ROM, with just a little reminder that we are living in the 21st century.
I've done my colouring with copics, sponging some DI for the background. For extra dimension, I've used liquid applique for the snow, and for a bit of sparkle, some stickles add some interest to the fur on his suit.
My papers are from the MME
Be Merry collection, and the ornaments on the left are made using a stencil. This was so easy to do, using DI and the sponging tool! As you can see, I then added a bit of sparkle and gold, and then a bit of greenery and a ribbon to finish it off.
Quite pleased with the result, and now I have another card ready for Christmas.
Some fun challenges for my card
