PIP challenge 2346. Be Merry

                    

🌲🌲 It’s getting closer! 🎄🎄
 This week for the PIP challenge, featuring our sponsor  Starz Stamp,
I chose the Christmas Star image and did it on a special fold card. After I had folded it in half, I cut the top corner out and then I took a smaller piece of card stock folded it in half and made it the front flap. My image was colored with pencils I used (to be Merry) stamp with a fancy cut stitched diecut , and added a large enamel dot in the right corner using all Christmas papers on my layers.

Celebrate the season


This card was started on cream cardstock, layered on a red striped/checked Christmas paper. I used a cute little critter mouse image from house mouse, colored with pencils. I used inks for the background and a fancy stitched diecut along with puff paint snow that I heat embossed to puff it. I used round red gems as my spots and added the sentiment after I fussy cut around it. It made a cute little Christmas card!
