'tis the season


Hello!  I made this card for From the Heart Stamp's DT tryout.  I love the images and have a couple of stamping friends on the DT, so I thought I'd give it a whirl!

I am using Holly Jolly Christmas (it comes with sentiments too)...love those Birdbrains!  LOL  The image is colored with pencils and I've used a black gel pen on her eyes along with some glittery "eyeshadow"...there's a touch of glitter on the star too.  I wanted to keep the layout simple to keep the focus on the image, so I pieced together a background and tied on some red ribbon.

Image: FTHS Holly Jolly Christmas
Ink: Printer, Sakura Black Gel Pen
Paper: PTI Stamper's Select and Pure Poppy, SU! Bermuda Bay, My Mind's Eye "12 Days of Christmas" DP
Embellies: Art Glitter in "Polar Bear", PTI Pure Poppy Grosgrain Ribbon
Extras: Prismas/Crayolas/Goo Gone, Spellbinder's Nestabilities, The Paper Studio Sticky Doos

I am entering this card in the following challenges:

ABC Challenges: V for Very Cute
Christmas Stampin' All Year Long: Cute and Cuddly Christmas
Come and Get It Challenges: Focal Image on the Side of Card/Project
Cute Card Thursday: Hip to be Square
