I have another Christmas card to share today, made with a Whimsy digital image called Tight Squeeze. I colored the image with Copics, then water colored the night sky with not-quite-navy ink and an aqua brush. After it dried, I stamped lots of tiny snowflakes with white craft ink and assorted tiny stamps. I used 2 snippets of designer paper, and added 2 die-cut Lawn Fawn stitched snowflakes with drops of Nuvo glitter drops here and there. The sentiment is an old G studio stamp that just seemed perfect for this image :) I added liquid applique to Santa's suit and hat, and added lots of stickles to the rooftop for snow.
I'm entering this card into the following challenges:
Jingle Belles Challenge - Let it Snow
Merry Little Christmas Challenge MLCCB#2 for September - anything goes
Craftyhazelnut's CHNC #404 - anything goes as long as it's Christmas
Optional - use some patterned paper
Thanks for checking in and do have yourself a fabulous weekend!

Aww, this card made me giggle after seeing Santa trying to get his bottom down the chimney! This image is colored so nicely, Carol and I love this design! Cute sentiment to go with it, too! TFS and Happy Fall, my friend! :)
So hilarious and so fun! I love that design and it is a great one to get a person in a jolly mood. Great coloring of the design too. The sentiment is perfect for it as well.
