I just had to buy the Holiday Grumplings during the TE Thanksgiving sale, even though technically all that was on my wishlist was embossing folders. They are SO DH, who is a real Christmas Grinch. This, however, is for a work colleague. The snowflake was already on my desk, and was just misted with a mister and dipped in Perfect Pearls. I stamped the image, coloured it with pencils, embossed it and added white gel pen to all the snow. It's matted onto blue holographic card, and I used white acrylic paint and Polar White flower soft for the snow. Base was painted with Aluminium acrylic paint, and I added Liquid Pearl dots all the way round. I added a strip of embossed "snow" cut to the same depth as the snow on the image panel, and added a doodled zig-zag border all the way round the DP. The ornament has Glossy Accents on it.

oh, don't we ALL have grinches in our fans? This is super cute and will not fail to elicit at least a grin and perhaps even a chuckle. I adore your sentiment! Merry, merry, MeRRy from across the pond, over the way.

Can't picture your DH as grumpy ! If this doesn't make him smile, I guess I will have to concede to your description of him! What a hoot this image is, and I love how you have presented him standing in the snow! Love your sense of humor too!!
Hope you - and DH - have a very Happy Christmas and a healthy New Year!!! HUGS!

Oh my gosh, what a hoot. Everything about this is terrific Sabrina, each time I look I see something I missed. I chuckled at Robin (Rachelrose) comment.....Miss One-Woman Christmas Card Factory. Being the proud owner of a Cook22 Original Christam Card, I know that this card will look even more special in real life my friend.
