Hi all :-) I am here with the first ABC Christmas Challenge of the year! Now don't all groan at once, there are only 353 days left to the next one ;-)
'A is for Anything Goes'
(and don't forget the Christmas theme!)
I recently bought a super cute Newton's Nook Curious Christmas Set and I will be working my way through all of the adorable images :-)
Don't you just love this little kitty watching Santa go by on his sleigh :-) I made a starry sky by first masking the image and then I used Cracked Pistachio, Tumbled Glass and Stormy Sky Distress Inks. I then sealed the ink with Micro Glaze before using a Falling Stars Stencil, White Embossing Paste and a sprinkling of Prisma Glitter.
I coloured the cat with Spiced Marmalade and Vintage Photo Distress Inks. I then masked the sky, and inked the moon with Pumice Stone and a little spiced marmalade inks.
I did think about adding a Star of Bethlehem to the top right corner, but I really like the simplicity of this, my eye is drawn straight to Santa and those fab reindeer :-)
Now I know Christmas is a long way off BUT if you join in with the challenges you will have a lovely box filled with cards by the time Christmas comes around and none of that last minute panic or worse, buying them from the store !! ugh ugh
