Last minute Christmas

Hi there!

With only 2 more sleeps until Christmas, I'm sneaking in one last card that I made but never blogged.



I combined 3 winter sets from Neat and Tangled to create this card: Stay Cool, Snow Fun, and Get Yeti. I love how they all work so well together!

I also used the Stitched Slopes dies to create the rolling snow banks.



The 2 mini snowmen in the sled crack me up! Once I colored and created my winter scene, I used a white gel pen to draw in the falling snow in the background.

I hope you like it, and Merry Christmas!

A sweatered llama

Hi there!

I posted this card to my instagram yesterday, but I thought it would be fun to show you how I made the little sweater for the Neat and Tangled Fa La Llama llama:



I started out by inking the llama image, but I wiped off all of the ink for his scarf and saddle detailing. Is it a saddle? dude, I have no idea. But you can see what got stamped on the right. I used a pencil to doodle a sweater design, and then traced over my doodle with a copic-friendly pen (like this one!)



I then colored him in using copic markers. I think he is just so sweet! The next step was to use him on a card:

I could help but stamp the Santa from Elfs And Their Shelf, and have him ride on the llama's back. I also stamped out the little snowman from Snow Fun, and tucked him behind a gift.



The sentiment, from Snow Days, was heat embossed, and I used a white gel pen to add little snowflakes to the background. The whole thing was set against a cozy knit patterned paper (by Lawn Fawn.)

I hope you like it! Thanks for stopping by!

25 Days of Christmas Tags (Neat and Tangled)

Hi there!

I'm thrilled to be participating in Tracey Mcneely's 25 Days of Christmas Tags again this year!

There are sponsors for every day of the event, and today's sponsor is Neat and Tangled.

I am loving a red, black and white combo for Christmas this year. The snowman, from Snow Fun, is so cute looking down at his little friend. The little speech bubble with the heart in it is from Oh Deer, and the sentiment is from Christmas Sentiments. I used the Build A Tag die set to create the tag.



I hope you like it! Be sure to visit Tracey's blog this morning for a list of participating designers - click!
