~You Wanna Wii?~

Poster: patsmethers

 Happy Friday! Here is my Twisted Sister challenge for this week, a funny Christmas card. My inspiration (once again) comes from Holly (Yungs) in this card:

http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/ga...?&si=yungs

When I saw Holly's card, it took less than five minutes to get this great image into my email! Had it printed in less than ten! I love these images.

This adorable image is from Squiggle Fly, which you can find here:

http://www.squigglefly.com/

I used a fixative to set the inkjet printer ink to keep the image from running, so it was a challenge to color. I used Sharpies. Normally, these images just need heat setting with your embossing gun, but cheapo inkjet refills are not kind to these! Santa's suit has white Flower Soft and his boots have MS shimmering coal glitter (glitta in Texas). The image was also sponged and Santa's eyes have a dot of CE to make them pop. Don't you love the look in his eyes! lol- that totally drew me in.

I have my sistah, Shirt (wannabcre8tive) to thank for the name of this card, thinking it might not be so nice to call it 'Don't Pee!', Shirley suggested Wanna Wii? Thanks Shirl!

Everyone is welcome to play in our Friday Challenges. This weeks Key Word is TSC0821. C'mon! Play! Thanks for looking!

Trust Shirley to come up with the perfect title for this beautiful card, Santa is not looking too amused is he haha! Wow that has colored amazingly for a digi-stamp. I love your pretty bow and look at all those brads this has such a stylish look I really love it Pat.

What a fabulous card. Love your Santa with the white flower soft, I was thinking that is what I needed for mine when I was making it. Couldn't find my fuzzy s. Wonderfully colored and a great choice of dp. That bow is tied to perfection.

Wow Pat! I am so flattered you were inspired by my card! I just love your card. All the sponging adds so much to it, and the brads are a neat touch! I abolutely about "wii'd" myself when I read your card title! LOL!

Okay, now I am really jealous ... you used Sharpies to color your image. I have Sharpies. They've certainly never looked so good. Argggh.
