For this week's Teapot Tuesday challenge. Having only inked up my Santa Bear last week, I'm not tired of him yet so I was happy to bring him out again and give him a striped background inspired by the candy-cane stripes.
A2 base sponged with red ink.
RubberNecker striped background stamped on cream card with Brilliance Rocket Red, edges sponged with Chipped Sapphire and then Stickles added.
Sentiment is See-D's, cut with Spellbinders Double-Ended Tags, edges sponged with Chipped Sapphire and then Stickles. I added the requisite star with some red star brads and some little silver puffy stars layered onto them.
Image stamped on watercolour paper with Versafine Black and coloured with distress inks. This time I remembered to cut it before I added the AppliGlue to the fur trim, so I was able to use Spellbinders Deckle Rectangles. I sprinkled some ultra-fine silver glitter over the fur trim, and added Glossy Accents to the lantern glass. Sponged the sky and foreground while it was still in the die, and then added Stickles round the plain edge.
As it's blowing a gale here and was blizzarding snow when I walked to the shopping centre (mall) this morning for my last big supermarket shop before Christmas, I added some Pewter Liquid Pearls for snowflakes .

This is just too adorable Sabrina! You colored the image beautifully and I love the deckled border. All of the glossy, pearly, sparkly and fuzzy detail look fabulous and your paper delightful. Glad to hear that someone else is still feeling Christmas-y! wonderful card, TFS.
