OSAAT challenge 39

Its time for my fortnightly DT card for One Stitch At A Time. This week it is Anything Goes but use your favourite colours.

My favourite Xmas colours are the traditional red & green, but I am liking the all white cards I am seeing in blogland, so I thought I would combine the two. The image is by Crafty Pad & called Holly Mouse with Bauble, which can be found here I have coloured the mouse with Prisma pencils & Sansador & glittered the hat & fur. The bauble I have glittered with Red & gold glitter, which you can see in the picture below.

Used Cuttlebug folders to emboss the backgrounds, glittered up the edges & layered. Added a couple of hat pins for good measure.Ribbon from stash.

Penguin in pink

I saw this idea on merging Cuttlebug folders over at Jak Heaths blog & decided to have a play myself. The image is by Mo Manning @ Digital Pencil Too which I have coloured with Prisma pencils & Sansador. I have used the Xmas house folder  & tree bark (I think) & joined the two to make a scene. Covered the lower embossed bits with Glamour Dust to look like snow & mounted the penguin on foam pads & he looks like he is running through the snow (well at least I think he is).
Background is a SeeD stamp & silver Brilliance ink used to give a shine & stamped randomly onto black card. Ribbon from stash.

Dream Big

My step son is 27 & normally hubby buys a card for him as one year I came up with several cards & he didn't like them, so I said ok, I will not make anymore, you can buy them & that has been the case for several years, even though he loves my cards usually & is very supportive. Anyway, I thought this year I would have a go again & see if it passed his standards. I am pleased to say he loves it & will not be buying a card for Ben this year...lol.
The decoupage was a sheet I had from Hobby Tool years ago & it was a dream to cut out. Papers from HOTP Cardmakers Classics. Sentiment from a sheet made by Cazz . Buttons & metal embellie all from stash.
