Two sleeps to go...how exciting or how exhausting LOL. This is for Robin's fun 'Free For All" challenge.
In the days leading up to Christmas I always find myself cleaning out cupboards in search of the bowls and plates that only see the light of day during Christmas. While I am doing this, I always find something that I lost.
That little story is the inspiration for my card, let's face it, Rudolph only needs his red nose on Christmas Eve. Thankfully Henrietta found it!!
I have a big stash of the grey backgrounds I have been doing lately with black Dylusions Ink Spray and ironing spray starch. This piece was a bit bald looking so I smacked a blue distress ink pad onto al foil, squirted on water, then dunked the panel in it.
This card is a real Splitcoastie community effort. The dies are RAK's from Robin and Helen, the white gel pen from Jody and Henrietta looks good thanks to a tip by Carla - use a fine foam brush and black distress ink to fill in her light bits.
Thank you all for another wonderful year. I wish you all a Merry Christmas. Stay safe and keep warm / cool, the forecast for Christmas Day here is 38C / 100F.

Susie, this is pure magic! I love the frosty touch of blue and the glitter. Henrietta was so marvelous to find Rudolf's nose. He needed it to get to our neck of the woods. Merry Christmas my friend!

Oh my goodness Susie, this is one gorgeous card my friend! This scene feels like it takes place in this wonderful enchanted forest, and I love that! I adore this fairy, and I love how entranced the deer and sweet little penguin are with the bejeweled ornament the fairy has. Merry Christmas Susie and congratulations on this card placing in the favorites for this week - it is stunning! Hugs! ~Karen.
