Seriously, right??? Ohhh yes... somehow, someone, somewhere seems to always put a challenge out on a Christmas in the middle of the year. Why is that??? Come on... they surely are not dying to for it to come so quickly, right??? LOL Funny story... when I first met my hubby and we were dating... I was going through some really tough things. He came over one day and handed me a box of Christmas cards... really basic, cheap looking cards he had gotten at a thrift store of sorts (or so I imagined, hadn't seen any other stores with them around! LOL). Anyway... he said... "Here, this will make you feel better." I was dumbfounded as it was September. Then he said.. "Sending Christmas cards ALWAYS makes you feel good!" I kinda laughed and said something about it being September. He just smiled and said.... "Come on... give it a try!" So we sat and made out Christmas cards and you know what??? It did!!! It made me laugh and forget about my troubles and we had so much fun. BUT... the kicker... we ACTUALLY mailed them!! HA HA Yes, people who know me were NOT surprised to get a card in their mailbox. And I suspect (KNOW) I made a few others smile that day as they opened their mail as well. :-) So hey, give it a try sometimes. Hee
This card was made for the
Outlawz Challenge site. Not only did they want a Christmas themed card, but they also wanted it to be a shaped card. No squares/rectangles allowed. My image is from
Mo's Digital Pencil...
"Santa's Hat". (I just skipped to the site for the link and didn't even realize I colored my image in the same colors as the web site shows. LOL Ooopsie!)
My card began with
Pure Luxury Red Hot card stock. I cut the shape using my Nestabilities Labels 10. My image was printed on White and colored with my Copic markers. I also used the same Nesties to cut it out... just a size smaller. I added some
Memento Cantaloupe ink around the edges prior to removing the die. I also added a couple of the fab ticket tags from Tami Mayberry's set,
"Ticket Trio". A few pearls and a little twine finish it off.
