Only 25 Sleeps To Go

REMEMBER TO ENTER MY BLOG CANDY

Tomorrow is the 1st of December EXCITING!  I am not sure what it is about this Christmas, but I am so amped it is almost ridiculous.  I am totally into everything this year including decorating outside the house.  I think having the kids pressies so under control has definitely helped.  Yay for one day deal lol.
So just my brother, SIL, nephew and Mummy to buy for and I am off to PN tomorrow so I will will get that sorted then.

I made this card for a challenge on YouTube by BACraftygirl which was to create a Winter/Holiday/Christmas Card with 3 stars, 2 Diecuts, 2 stamps and glitter. Here is what I came up with....


The image is from High Hopes and is quite an old one so I am not sure if it is still available.  I coloured it up with Prismacolor Pencils.  The papers are Jolly Days by Cosmo Cricket and the cardstock is Stampin Up.  I used liquid appliqué on the fur on the image.   The chipboard stars are some really old ones I have been hoarding which were originally plain but i pushed them onto my Brilliance galaxy gold inkpad then heat set them.  Once they were dry I added rock candy distress stickles.  The diecuts are from k&co and are vellum which I inked with antique linen distress ink so they weren't so starkly white against the card.  The sentiment is from Hero Arts.  I inked around the edges of the papers with galaxy gold brilliance ink.


I am entering my card in the following challenges....
