It's a Critter challenge at the Jingle Belles!!! And I picked an unusual critter for my card, a Platypus and a Christmas one too. The image is a digital image from Mel Jen's Designs and they are not long in business, I received a lot of awesome images from them when they sponsored "Clear it Out Tuesday".
Now isn't he just the most adorable Platypus you ever saw, he is sure not letting his candy cane get out of his sight. Shiny red posterboard scrap used for the scalloped oval and layer. Punches are from Stampin''up. Merry Christmas is from Hero Arts. Patterned paper have no idea just one I saw some where and of course bought 2, always good to have a spare.
Close up of the critter, his hat fur has a wind of stella on it, a well as the swirls and holly.
28Finished the inside with a favourite sentiment that was a prize from the Jingle Belles last yeaer, I added a scrap of patterned paper and the red mirror paper too.
I'm entering this in:
Jingle Belles Rock ~~ Not a Creature was Stirring
Merry Little Christmas Challenge ~~ #28 Anything Goes
Craftyhazelnut's Christmas Challenge ~~ Anything Goes as long as it's Christmas Optional theme something that starts with H (holly)
