I'm back with another HM creation for the HM&F Challenge #105 - Sparkle On Your Christmas Creation. For the 1st time ever my Christmas cards are really coming together this year. I usually wait till its way too close and then start to stress over getting them done. I think Christmas cards are my favorite to make. These 2 little guys are enjoying a hot cup of cocoa
My image was stamped on Manga Artist Paper and then colored with copic markers. I cut the image out with a spellbinders die and then stamped 'Tis the Season' along the top corner with a su stamp. The poinsetta is also a spellbinders die and I used pink metallic cs for this. Added some sm yellow brads to the centre and then topped the brads off with some sparkly yellow stickles. The dp and cs is from su. I picked up the bells at Michaels last week and have added them along with the red ribbon. Stickles icicles was added around the edge of the main image and brads to the corners.
Have a wonderful day and thanks for looking!
