This week's Bah!Humbug! Challenge was an easy one allowing anything that flies. OOOh so many choices! I'm a big fan of the cute, quirky Octopode Factory images so I decided upon the Whimsical Christmas Angel. (Isn't she a crack up?) She's colored with Copics and mounted upon a shaped card I made in Design Studio using Mickey Font (and squishing it a good deal). The DP is Cosmo Cricket.
I decided to keep this pretty simple, popping only the "O" in JOY and the image itself. AND I managed to keep it down to an A2 size. WooHoo!
I also decided to follow the ladies' Top Tip Tuesday suggestion and actually finished the INSIDE of my card. However don't expect this every week and who exactly will be getting it is yet a mystery. LOL You really didn't think I'd ever be THAT organized, did you? Now, I can think of at least 3 of my buddies who vowed to join me in the Bah!Humbug! challenges this year (ahem, Margie, Lillie, and Nilda) so what the heck are you waiting for? BTW, the challenges come out on Fridays and are due by noon the following Thursday (UK time) so I'm thinkin' you won't be making it this week, LOL, but you oughta go check it out for the fab inspiration as always.
OMG I LOVE this card. Those are probably my favorite colors to work with. Love the pink, and teal. That image is amazing. I want that paper pack so bad, can you tell me what cosmo cricket series that is?? If you will let me in on the secret you can e-mail me at sar342@aol.com:) Oh and btw, I would LOVE LOVE a Donna card in my scraproom...hehe..that wasn't too forward not was it.

Oh My Giddy Aunt!
ReplyDeleteWasn't sure whether to laugh or scream when I saw this angel. She's definitely NOT what I'd describe as "Cute" but there's something appealing about her - but OMG those eyes! I DO however, lurrrrrrve the word card and the beautiful paper ... and well done for completing the inside. Hope you can keep it up. Thank you for sharing with us at Bah! Humbug!
Luv'n'Stuff

ReplyDeletelove this card you have given me the inspiration to dust off my cricut which sadly has been unused as I have been trying to get to grips with promarkers....but back to it!!! hugs Margaret
ReplyDeleteYIKES! Nothing like putting me on the spot, Chickie! And now I've missed the deadline. So looks like I'll jump in the new challenge. See, this is what happens when I don't pay attention to my favorite blogs...even when they're sitting right in my sidebar, practically slapping me in the face!
