I am really enjoying my weekend with my friends, but alas am not feeling the greatest. Slept in and took it easy today. My other friends, April and Susan, joined us. No wild parties, tonight!! Just fun times!!
I
did manage to finish one card today. The House Mouse and Friends Challenge is “Getting Ready for Christmas”. I took this a literally (actually just an
excuse to use my new stamps) and thought about what I do before all those
Christmas parties. I take a nice,
relaxing, hot bath!!
I colored this little guy with my Spectrum Noir Alcohol markers and then added some Twinkling Clouds Sparkle N Soft from Sparkle N Sprinkle on the marshmallows and their Cloud Nine Velvet Glitter on the rising steam. After cutting the image out with a Spellbinders’ Circle Die, I popped it in the middle of the card with dimensionals. The Ornament is also a Spellbinders’ die with strips of 1/8" Double Sided "Tear-ific"Tape across it, covered with Luau Green Velvet Glitter (also from SNS). I wanted to add three tiny snowflake buttons but everything I had was too big. Then I remembered this cute garland I had left over from last year. I cut the snowflakes off of it and they worked perfect. As a last touch, I added some faux stitching with a white pen.
Raise
your mug of hot chocolate to having a relaxed holiday season!!
