Crafty Little Fairies - anything goes

Hello lovely people,

Christmas is so very nearly here but there's still time for one last challenge at Crafty Little Fairies and all the pink and blue fairies are joining in this time with our theme of...

ANYTHING GOES

We are lucky enough to have TWO sponsors this week;



Now, I am very happy to report that I finished all my Christmas cards and they were all posted on Monday :-)  However, I have a habit of buying lots of Christmas stamps and not getting round to using them all, and this year was no different with a gorgeous James bear stamp from LOTV un-inked.  Well, that just wouldn't do so here he is...



It is a bit of a 'greatest hits' card for me with my fave Maja Design papers, my fave snowflake dies and some seam binding tied with twine but it all just works for me :-)
James is in his favourite blue scarf and hat and there is a touch of sparkle from some Stardust Stickles on the snow.



Card recipe;
DP: vintage frost basics - Maja Designs
Dies: small snowflake set from Impression Obsession

Copic colours;
Fur: E40/41/42/43
Hat  /scarf: B91/93/95/97 & T0/1 on furry bits
Mallet / signpost: E44/47/49
Sign: T8/9/10/100 (hat) & YR18/27 (nose) & T0/1/2
Ground: T0/1/2

This challenge will run for 2 weeks to give all of us Fairies a chance to rest our wings over Christmas and we will be back with a new challenge on 2nd January 2014!  There are so many gorgeous cards to inspire you over at Crafty Little Fairies and I hope you find some time over the festive period to join in :-)

Thanks for visiting and I really appreciate any comments that you leave,

Hugs,
Kat xx

    Oooh Kat, this is one of my favourite LOTV stamps this year. I love James (I'm so glad they've brought him back) and this one is a firm favourite as soon as I saw him. I love your colouring of his fluffy fur too. Your shading is lovely and he looks so cute and cuddly.
    Hugs
