Hey All! Happy Monday everybody! Can you believe it is the week of Christmas??? I hope you all are ready to enjoy this fun week.
Today is House Mouse Monday Challenge, and today's challenge #59 comes to us from Lori and it is "Winter Wishes". It can be anything relating to winter, Christmas, snow, winter birthday, etc. This is such an appropriate challenge because today is also the first day of winter!
Here is my card:
This is one of my favorite Gruffies stamp. It's called "Beary Big Delivery". This was a tough one for me to color. Those packages made my eyes cross coloring in every little detail. But it was worth it because it turned out so colorful. Doesn't the car remind you of an old Volkswagon? I colored it with colored pencils and oms. I outlined all the chrome parts on the car with a silver pen. I then stuck on silver nail heads for the hubcaps. I used liquid diamonds on the headlight, taillight, and front windshield for a glassy look. The snow is done with liquid appliqué and covered in glitter. I then cut the whole image out and attached it to the polka dot background paper with foam squares. I added the sentiment (Martha Stewart) circle and snowflakes as the embellishments. Here is a close up:
Look at that sweet baby in the back seat! This stamp just has so many details and was a blast to use.
Well, that's it for this post. I do hope that you go over and play if you have time. At least go over and take a look at the other wonderful cards made by my team members. They are all so talented. You can visit the blog HERE.
I'll be posting again on Wednesday with a boat load of stuff to share. So I hope to see you then. Have a wonderful week and stay warm!
Best,
Curt O'Brien
