I've been having some fun coloring the quirky images from Bloobel Stamps and decided to use one of the non Christmas images for a Christmas card. This is Football Fan. Now the little dude actually has shorts and cleats on, but he looked so excited with his stocking cap and scarf that I thought a little crop would be in order to have him looking out the window for Santa. The moon is cut with a Spellbinders Circle and the Santa's sleigh is from Joy Crafts. The sentiment is computer generated and popped as is the moon and sleigh.
Here's a closeup of Football Fan. He's colored with Copics with a bit of shading with Prismacolor pencils. I marked around the image lightly with a pencil using a Spellbinders Square to determine where to fussy cut the scarf and then positioned it under the die to cut the image. Then I made a frame, again using the Spellbinders Squares and carefully pulled the scarf ends over it. I really think it turned out cute, don't you?
I'm rushing to enter this in the Outlawz Monday Greetings ATG challenge as a new theme starts tomorrow. I'm also entering this in the DL.Art November Linky challenge, Aud Sentiments Cute + a Sentiment, the ABC Christmas Challenge "V" is for Vertical, and 613 Avenue Create ATG.
That face is great! Love the image and your presentation of it is great as well! Thanks so much for sharing this delightful project with us at 613 Avenue Create!

Great use of a non-Christmas image on a Christmas card! He is a super cute, quirky character and I love how the scarf pops out of the frame. x
