2009 Christmas neice

I made this Christmas card for my neice she isn't that young (16) but I thought she would like the funky whimsy of the combinations. I think this is my favorite because I really like these stamps despite all the issues people have had with High Hopes. Its part of my trying to use what I have already series!

Christmas 2009 - BIL & SIL

As these are now last year's Christmas cards I am trying to KISS (keep it simple stupid) them. If you want to know more let me know, but it's all pretty self explanatory.
This card was for my BIL and SIL. I think it may be my favorite of the two individual cards I sent. I used my large cuttlebug holly embossing folder and then just colored over the raised holly with my copics and red spica pen. I colored the ribbon to match with the same pens and the "drops" are clear floral pebbles from Michael's that I color the back to match.

I really love those tiger feet...

I guess I can go old school on my singing - That's neat,that's neat, that's neat, that's neat I really love your tiger feet... Glam rock at its best - gotta love a bit of Mud LOL! Come on and dance along, you know you want to!

This is another card I posted in my SCS gallery. Its about my third or forth attempt with my Copics. All the inspiration for this card is my son's High School - colors and mascot.

Looking back at the image I can see things that I would change but I am generally happy with a good percentage of the coloring and the layout is fine - there is only so much you can do for non-frilly boy cards!

I love the High Hopes Tiger image and bought it specifically to use over and over and over again over the next few years! This card really is a hodge podge of brands so here we go and I hope you like it -
