Well, when I saw that leopard print I immediately thought of my friend, who I'll call K. K is gorgeous, had a great figure, can eat anything and has a little bit of a mischievous streak. You'd like to hate her except that she is sweet and so much fun. She likes to wear a touch of animal print, and leopard is definitely her. Anywhoo since she is both, all that kept running through my mind was that old Naughty or Nice thing...
Stamped the little sweetie from Crafty Secrets Seasons Greetings set and colored her with Copics. Ran a piece of So Saffron through a CB EF that I inked with Rich Cocoa, then added black and Potter's Clay accents with a Q-Tip. Rounded the Father Christmas image with a Nestie circle (placed most of the image off of the platform and just the part that I wanted cut on the edge of the platform) and matted with Wasabi. Added a cherry cobbler panel, strung the leopard print ribbon and mounted all to the scored card. PC generated the sentiment, punched with Small Oval punch and matted with scalloped oval Wasabi. Clearly no one in their right mind would use three colors of pearls on one project, but I never said that I wasn't a little "tetched in the head" as Jed and Granny used to say. If you don't want this wackadoodle card messing up your pretty Christmas displays, PM da Mudder now, because I plan to tickle someone with it. PT - 4
Thanks so much for looking and have a peaceful day.

I don't see anything wrong with three colours of pearl - they look fabulous. The ribbon couldn't be more perfect, and the background paper you created is also "spot" on.

MM, I think you card is great and I especially love that Santa. Your friend sounds so much fun...and almost perfect. :-) On my Christmas list, I need to find out who has been naughty and who has been nice so I'll know what to give them. LOL
