And this cute little chap is "Santa stop here Chilly" and you will find him here, I printed him onto white card then used my copic pens to colour him, I then cut him out with one of my rectangle Nestabilie Dies and a snowflake one for the mount out of blue card. The sentiment is one from my stash and was treated in the same way as the image.

I then put my mounted image towards the left and the sentiment at the bottom on the right hand side I also used some glue that I ran around the edge of the card and them glittered it.

To finish of I have used a Martha Stewart Snowflake punch and created some snowflakes which have been glittered up and placed around the card.

Challenge #273 - "More than 1 of Anything" - The Paper Shelter

Good Morning Paper Shelter Followers, well todays Challenge started out slightly different or I should say the theme was I realised when I set it we had already had one with more than 1 fold so I changed it to "More than 1 of Anything" so I do hope you manage to understand this, it could be images, papers or embellishments and Im sure that most of us do this anyway so we are leaving the choice up to you.
So this weeks Challenge is being sponsored by Veronica and she is still offering a fabulous prize of $30 to spend on The Paper Shelter website

but this is providing you have used one of their products on your card and this could be a Image, Paper or Printable and you will find lots to choose from on their website and even if you dont use them they will still offer you 3 images of your own choice, so you really cannot loose can you? Please also remember you are allowed to enter three projects but one of these must carry one of our products please. 
And here is the Card I created I hope you enjoy it

As you can see I have used two images and of course we also have two folds to. This first image is "Hippie Chic" and you will find her here, and the second image is "Hippie Van" and this also you will find here. I printed both onto white card and then used my copic pens to colour them, after wards I cut them out and mounted them onto a piece of blue card.
The base card is 6.50" x 6.50" white card which has been folded as shown in the photo, and the papers are from my stash that a white background with shades of blue clouds on them, I also created a insert in the same papers to.
I placed the van on one side and the girl on the other, underneath I stamped a sentiment and to finish of I have used two hippie flowers and stuck them in the bottom left hand corner.
