Green ...

with a splash of red and grey!!!

I haven't inked up my LOTV James Christmas stamps for AGES ... but who can resist this cute ted???  I coloured him in using my promarkers and then glamour dusted the tinsel.  The dp is Authentique and I used my scraps from it .  I made a tag money holder that pulls out from behind the image.  Would have put some money in but we seem to be rather short of notes at the mo!!  I'll be off to the bank later LOL!!


I've kept it all embellishment free ... couldn't hide that dp and I do like the clean look.

Challenges:
Lili of the Valley - Christmas card for someone Special ... this is for my nephew (who would really like and i-touch, but his auntie is too stingey to buy him one, so he's getting money towards it!!)
Papertake Weekly - when a card is not a card ...
Sketch Saturday - sketch
Just us Girls - red, green, white
Stamptacular Sunday - Boy oh boy - card is for my Nephew

I haven't coloured with my new winter DIs so thought i would colour this gorgeous fairy in using them.  Her wings are glamour dusted and the dp is BG Jovial.  I added a panel of swirl embossed cardstock, and cut of a couple of Memory Box swirls out.  And left it at that ..

Challenges:
Cute Card Thursday - green and grey
Totally Gorguss - Swirly whirly
