Hello friends! How are you all doing this fine day in May? As you're reading this, I am hard at work; BUT I took a vacation day tomorrow so that I can have a nice EXTRA LONG, long weekend! For those not in the States, Monday is our Memorial Day. With all this crazy virus stuff going on though, it's going to be a quiet one. Hubby and I are still leery about being around too many people, so we're just going to stay home and have burgers and stuff.
Anyway, I want to share what I made for the Bugaboo Oldie But Goodie day at Catch the Bug, so here goes:
I used Poppi Xmas Candy Cane for my card--you all knew it would be a Christmas card, right? Gotta build up that stash, ya know! ;) I was inspired by my other recent Christmas card (here) to color Poppi in pastels with my alcohol markers. I love how he looks in these lighter shades! 😍 I used an old Papertake Weekly sketch for my layout (still love using those!), and the patterned papers come from the My Mind's Eye Merry 6x6 paper pad. I totally love this paper pad! I guess it's a good thing I bought 5 or 6 more! 😉 The sentiment is from the Lawn Fawn Ho Ho Holidays set, and is stamped in Versa Fine Nocturne ink. Every Christmas card should have some sparkle, so I added Candy Cane Stickles to the berries and the pink parts of the candy cane, and Stardust Stickles to the white parts of his hat. A white Gelly Roll pen, size 08, was used to add highlights to the image. The big scalloped oval behind Poppi is from Spellbinders.
