Merry Christmas Toni

Denise owner of Whimsy Stamps emailed us early this week and letting us know that Whimsy Stamps will be sponsoring this weeks challenge at Stamp Something. It's a color challenge using Red, Green and Gold. She was nice to mention that she would love the rest of the Design Team members to participate but it's ok if we're unable too. The first thing I said... I'll pass, I just have a hard time with color challenges but being a good DT, I thought I would play along. So, after dinner and homework last night, I blog hop and look for a cool sketch to use with the color challenge and found out that Frances of Stamp Owl's Studio is hosting this weeks MFT sketch challenge.

So, I combine both MFT sketch challenge and Stamp Something color challenge and I got Toni's Christmas card done. Toni thinks that Oscar (she named my new Whimsy stamps Owl - Oscar De La Hoya after seeing the boxing match over the weekend...LOL!) is just adorable, and I know that she'll get a kick out of it knowing that I used him for her Christmas card. And if you think that there's too much details on this card....for her, the more details, the more she thinks that mom can really make cards.

Oscar is the newest Whimsy Animals Collections
that was released last Friday. He was stamped on Whisper White cardstock and colored with SU re-inkers. I cut the image out with my circle coluzzle template and cut Chocolate Chip cardstock with the next bigger coluzzle circle. Tied the gold cord on both ends of the branch with alphabet beads. Certain Celery cardstock was run through Cuttlebug with snowflakes embossing folder, I put crystal stickles on each snowflakes to match the pattered paper. Oscar was wearing the Santa hat but the wind blew it out of his head. :)
