Hi everyone. Today is the start of the CAS Christmas September Challenge - Woodland Critters, hosted by our lovely Lisa!! The challenge runs Sept. 1 - 30.
First time using an older Penny Black image that I recently bought. Stamped the image in black and heat embossed in clear before watercolouring with distress reinkers.
To finish, I fussy-cut the image and used my clear Wink of Stella to add some shimmer to the Santa cuff and pompom. I die-cut two small holly leaves and berries, watercoloured and added them to the hat. I splattered diluted white acrylic paint for falling snow.
The image is popped onto my panel with two torn snowhills at the bottom and a background of Falling Snow (SSS) dry embossing. Simple sentiment (Banner Sentiments - Penny Black) is stamped in Candied Apple Distress Oxide ink. The panel is popped up on top of my white card base. :)

I have this cute little hedgie imageLoll, but haven't used it for ages, and I'm inspired to get it out to contribute to this year's Christmas makes. I Iove the mix of red for his Santa hat, and some lovely sparkle on the trim and bobble, and the added holly leaves and berrie look great, and the combinaion of the falling snow embossing and the snowhills with some white spattring of rmore snow is just perfect, and the lovely red sentiment is a great finishing touch to this beautiful card. x
Such an adorable PB hedgehog image! Beautifully coloured and perfect set in the snow banks with snow falling on his hat.
So fun with the giant Santa hat on the cute little hedgie, Loll! wonderful coloring on your image and pretty torn white paper snow landscape and embossed snowy sky! Julia xx
