RUBBERNECKER – TUESDAY TREASURE HUNT

~~~

Now just because both of my cards today have snow on them and a winter theme, doesn’t mean I’m ready for the cold weather! Sadly though, it really is on it’s way.

Don’t these little carolers and their canine accompanist just warm your heart? I love the simple drawing and the great fun it was to color! All of their fur was coated with Tulip Puffy Paint then heated. The snow and the entire sentiment oval were smushed into a glue pad then covered with fine glitter.

Can you see the lined textured in the burgundy coat? After it was colored and shaded, I used the Copic chisel tip of the blender marker to stripe the coat. I like how it almost looks like corduroy! The dog’s mottled color was also created using the blender marker. I touched the brush tip to the dog’s colored coat to remove some of the color, creating his spots.

Don’t forget to visit all the Rubbernecker design teams blogs to see what they’ve created for you today ~

JACKSONBELLE EMBELLISHMENTS – JBE025

~~~

Today’s Jacksonbelle Embellishments challenge was to use some of the new Christmas papers from the Jacksonbelle store. I already used some on my Rubbernecker card above and I think this poinsettia/snowflake paper from the new Fancy Pants collection was just perfect for little Snowy Jo! He’s so simple and so cute! He and his sentiment were originally attached as one stamp, but I cut them apart. I also curved the sentiment on the acrylic block so that it would fit along the curve of the Tim Holtz grungeboard flourish.

The gorgeous paper is from the Fancy Pants Happy Holidays 8×8 paper pad. The ribbon is May Arts.

Be sure to head over to the other design team members’ blogs to see their creations with this fantastic new product ~
