When you have a good idea you better make the most of it. Yesterday I made a magical Christmas card, today I needed a male greeting card - so I thought: what if I used the same idea, but changed up things a bit?
Here's what I changed. Instead of the ballerina cat I stamped a friendly figure which I then dressed up to be a Christmas gnome. Instead of using a stencil for falling snow I used an embossing folder with fir boughs. Instead of stamping the sentiment I hand wrote it.
What stayed the same: The general layout and the use of greenery.
I used my markers to color everything, and the metallic dots are both silver and gold. I love to use mixed metals in my work whenever possible.
Entering in these challenges that served as my inspiration and guideline:
613 Avenue Create: AG/ twist: any winter holiday - I go with this option
Aud Sentiments Challenge: Winter/New Year + embossing folder
Cardz 4 Gyuz: Elves or gnomes
Colorful Options: Silver and gold
Passion for Markers: #719 Add a sentiment
