Humbug!! That's not me by the way, it refers to my final make before Santa arrives. I have just finished making my last card for 2013 and thankfully I only make a special few for family and close friends. My final make just had to be with Stampotique stamps and I am also entering this into Stampotique Designers Challenge week 3 of anything goes.
The Christmas character I have used is "Oh Joy" some sarcasm there when you read the quote from Scrooge which I have cut from "Christmas Carol" by Charles Dickens.
Background has been made with acrylic paints, stencil, Kaisercraft background stamps, washi tape and a bit of festive bling. Tree baubles are also Stampotique, coloured and covered in glossy accents to make them look shiny, the strings they hang on have been hand drawn.
Thanks for stopping by and can I take this opportunity to thank you all for your lovely comments throughout 2013 and wish you all a very very merry Christmas.
Love

This actually made me laugh aloud, Amanda! I actually didn't remember Scrooge saying this, but it's great--especially with all the controversy about what the proper holiday greeting should be! Love your art, too!
ReplyDeleteOh wow, this is a stunning mixed media Christmas creation. Its just so creative.
ReplyDeleteWishing you and your loved ones a blessed Christmas.
