Happy April, and welcome to a new month long challenge from Crafty Hazelnut's Christmas Challenge Extra. As always, it is Anything Goes as long as it is Christmas related. Here is my card for your inspiration:
Ooo . . . don't you love that two-tone bow??? I used my Bow Easy tool to create it. I've never tried this before, but I will definitely be doing it again. Love the look! The "snow hills" were in my bits and pieces stash, I just inked up the edges with some silver ink so they would stand out better. I cut the penguin out and popped it up with foam tape. Then I added the little red hearts to his hands; so cute!Challenges:
Fantastic Tuesday #130--hearts & flowers
Retro Rubber #35--anything goes (my sentiment is probably 6 years old or more and the penguin digi is at least 3--if a digi doesn't count, I'm so sorry, please remove my entry)

Craftin' Desert Divas--black & white plus a splash of color

Hi Heather! Just wanted to stop by and leave some DT teamie love. That bow is adorable and those little hearts? TOO CUTE! He looks great on that tag too. :)
ReplyDeleteSuch a cutie Heather - super card! How funny, I just got a package yesterday with a couple of Bow Easy gadgets in - one as part of a future Playground prize. Love how you made the double bow, main reason I bought it so it's great to see yours!
