Eskimo AJ

Dinky Dots have been offering a free download of AJ, and as I like freebie and have been resisting Lulu and AJ for ages I thought I would have a go.
This is what I have come up with so far.

Having experimented with red, brown and green coats I finally decided to give him a blue coat. I have coloured him in Aqua Promarkers and glitter glued his fur trim and the ice (Ellie helped with this bit so it has taken 2 days for the glue to dry, in fact the ice is quite textured and deep due to the amount of glue she put on!LOL) I have matted him onto silver cardstock and the new Dovecraft Christmas papers. I embossed the background using the Cuttlebug Snowflakes folder, and added some small blue gems to some of the snowflakes. The ribbons are from my stash. As I was playing I also got out my Big Bite and set some eyelets.

I have persuaded Beth that it doesn't need a fish, she was quite adamant to start with and went to rummage through her foam shapes!!

Nessy is celebrating her birthday with some fab candy. For a chance to win pop over and take a look, and have a look at her wonderful creations.
