Brighten The Holidays

Good morning folks.  Hope you are all well.

We start a new challenge this morning at Crafting from the Heart.

Challenge 84 theme is 'Always Anything Goes'

Our sponsors are

Sparkle n Sprinkle

AND

QKR Stampede

I chose a digi stamp from Sparkle n Sprinkle called 'Brighten the Holidays' which when I saw it just made me smile so much.  I think they are super cheeky chappies and were a delight to colour.

If you purchase the set you will receive a digi stamp, a coloured image and two sentiments which is brilliant value.

Once I had printed out my image I used my BSC to fussy cut it out on the direct to cut facility with a 1mm allowance.  I then increassed the allowance to 2mm and cut a red mat and also increased the allowance to 3mm and cut out a blue mat.  This is the beauty of 'Brian'.

I coloured the super little chaps in using my copic marker pens and have also put some white glitter for the fur on their ear muffs and mittens.

I have used an 8x8 base card followed by another piece of white card which I have pricked around the edges.  My merry christmas backing paper is from serif craft artist digi kit.  My lights backing paper was designed by me in serif craftist using a string of lights in the embellishments and the stamp mode.  This was matted onto some navy card.

I matted a piece of white card which I embossed with an embossing plate from sizzix onto some red card.  My sentiment came with the digi stamp that has also been matted onto some blue card.

I then finished off my card with some blue ribbon, a bow and some nuvo pearl drops.
