"Scraptastic Monday"

Hello Whimsical Crafters. It is time for another Scraptastic Challenge. In case this is your first visit let me fill you in. Cindy, from Cindy's Little Creations, has a brand new challenge every Monday. The design team has the honor of showcasing her amazing digital stamps. Even though there is a brand new challenge every week, they remain open for two weeks. This week we had to create a different style card, other than an A2 or Shape Card, and incorporate ribbon, and a die cut. You do NOT have to use a digital stamp to play along.  Here is what I came up with.
This is called a round easel card. I used my nesties to cut the base of the card, the scallop background, and the circle that "Christmas Penguin" is on (those are my die cuts). I used one of Cindy's images "Naughty or Nice" and cut the santa's hat off of her and pop dotted onto the penguin. You can get this adorable image, and naughty or nice right here at Cindy's shop. I used my Prisma Colored Pencils, and some chalk to color her in.  The white puffy stuff for the hat and around the edge of the scallop is called liquid applique. It comes it lots of different colors, and has many uses too. I inked all edges with Stampin Up Real Red and Baja Breeze classic ink. Added a bow, and some bling and viola!

Be sure to hop on over to Cindy's blog to see what the talented design team came up with for this challenge.

Don't forget you still have time to enter the Whimsical Wednesday "Happy Turkey Day" challenge. This Wednesday we will have a brand new challenge for you...and I will also announce the release dates of my brand new stamp line.

Have a great week, and thanks for stopping by.
