Sending Love At Christmas

Yesterday evening I sat down to a bit of a colouring session, and completely outdid any previous attempts at batch colouring as I completed EIGHT images of this gorgeous FF Santa teddy. Or to put it another way ... over the next week or two you are likely to see this image featuring on my cards a LOT lol!

Media: Promarkers and Flexmarkers; glamour dust on coat and hat;
Papers: Dovecraft "Holly Jolly";
Supplies: flower by WIld Orchid Crafts; pearls from The Hobby House;
Tools: large oval and large scalloped oval nestabilities; Cheery Lynn "holly flourish" die.


Challenges:
Kaboodle #96 - Colours of Christmas
Sparkles #26 - One You Love At Christmas
Daring Cardmakers - December Flowers (Holly)
Crafts & Me #63 - Pearls & Swirls
My Mum's #34 - Keeping Warm
Paper Sundaes #98 - Sundae Bar
(I used red + stripes + die cuts)

Hi Pauline,
Don't mind to see that image a few days in a row. It's so cute and well colord. Love your card.
Here in Holland it's getting colder with rain and wind so i'm sitting here with a warm blanky over my shoulders, hmmmmmm, this is cosy.
Hugs,Yvon
