Hey all! Welcome back to day 5 of Catch the Bug's Christmas in July bash! With today being Wednesday, we are all about that humor, so we want you to create something based on one of these funny Christmas movies:
I chose Home Alone, as it's my favorite out of the 3 choices. Here is my card:
I chose this fun image (Merry Christmas Tree) because it reminded me of the scene where Kevin is decorating the tree, and he sees Marv's reflection in his ornament. He then calls out to his dad to come help him (who we all know isn't there). Later on, I also love when Marv comes into the house thru that window in his bare feet and steps on all those glass ornaments Kevin left on the floor as a booby trap. LOL
The image is colored with alcohol markers, and I added Eucalyptus Stickles to the ornaments, and Yellow Stickles to the stars. I inked the edge of my image panel using Evergreen Bough Distress Oxide ink. I used Spellbinders Curved Rectangles to make the layers for my easel card, and the patterned paper comes from a Recollections 8.5x11 pack. The "Believe" die is from Love Nicole. I cut it 3 times from Recollections 110# card stock and stacked it for some decent dimension to hold my panel up. To make it stand out more, I coated it in clear Wink of Stella, and covered it in Glossy Accents.

Great card and I love that you chose Home Alone as your inspiration. We love Home Alone and watch that and Home Alone 2 every Christmas (and sometimes in between) whenever it is on - it is a Christmas tradition. Lol Thanks for sharing with us at Digi Choosday this time. Hope to see you again soon.
