All Wrapped up For Christmas



This little snowman looks like he got into a fight with strings of Christmas tree lights and lost. Poor little guy is all wrapped up, for Christmas! The cute snowman image is from Shelly's Images. He's colored with pro markers and a clearstar gelly roll pen for added sparkle. I used a new red xmas background paper that I bought yesterday at Hobby Lobby during their 50% off paper sale. The green polka dotted papers are scraps from my stash. The brads and skittles are all from my stash and give the card a 3D effect. The center skittle is clear and undyed, so this should qualify for any challenges that want a clear embellishment. The card layout is from the sketch at Priscilla's Styles. The background paper says "Merry Christmas, so I used that as my sentiment, instead of cluttering up my card with more text.

I am entering this card in the following challenges:

  1. OMG, that poor snowman is all wrapped up and might catch on fire with all those light strands. That could be a very bad thing for a snowman. However, it is a very good thing in using this to make a cute and fun card!! I love your sparkle, great panels, dps and details. You did a terrific job!

    Thanks SO MUCH for joining the Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge this week and I hope you can come out and play with us next week!

    Hugs
