I opted for a cute Lili of the Valley image but what about the non-traditional colours? Luckily an old MME Christmas pad came to the rescue and I found this aqua paper, which was just the job. I coloured the wee bear with Copics and added plenty of glitter in the form of Stickles to the tinsel boa. I put some crackle glaze on the baubles, although you can't really see it.
I kept the embellies to a minimum - a Memory Box die for the bow and aqua pearls in each corner. I mucked up the sentiment, so I don't know if you can see it! It's a bit clearer in real life but really doesn't show up as well as I thought it would!
Hope you can join us at Christmas at Sweet Stampin' this month. We're being sponsored by Flatfriends who have 4 digis to give away to our randomly chosen winner. Why not grab a cuppa and hop over to see what the wonderful Christmas Sweeties have made to inspire you?
Have a great rest-of-the-week!
