Quirky Christmas

Today's card covers a few challenges.  I started out with the sketch from Just Add Ink and then decided to make a non-traditional Christmas card for Less is More.  From there it was a simple step to the bright colors at Curtain Call and then I decided to join in with the brand new challenge ShowCASe Your Style, which has a tic-tac-toe challenge.  Rather than going in a diagonal, vertical or horizontal line, I chose sparkle (Wink of Stella), sequins and die cuts.

My little penguin was colored with Copics and I gave him a purple hat and yellow scarf before die-cutting him and popping him up on foam tape.  The die-cut sentiment was cut from Elegant Eggplant card and inlaid into the white panel.  Some yellow sequins in the right hand corner balanced out the card.

These are not the colors I would normally choose for a Christmas card, but I think they turned out rather cute and quirky and would make a fun card to give a kid.

Thanks for visiting.
