And here's my take on it... Pretty much the only tiny tweek this time is I used my Classic Ovals and Labels 18 Nesties instead of a Rectangular Image panel. 8-)
I printed out my Sweet little Cocoa's Santa Hat image onto Flourishes Classic White and colored him up with my trusty Copics. I added a bit of shading with Antique Linen Distress ink and a little liquid applique to his Cute little Santa Hat. I cut him out and matted him up using my Classic Ovals and Labels 18 Nesties sets and then popped them up with a few dimensionals. For my Mats and BG layers I chose a combination of Kraft CS from my stash and some Fabulous dp's from MME's Holly Jolly collection. My Sweet 'N Sassy Sentiment was stamped with Memento Rich Cocoa onto a little Cricut die cut layered oval and then shaded up with a little more Antique Linen Distress Ink. To finish it all up, I added some ribbon from my stash, a few sweet adhesive pearls, a few Fun snowflakes I made up with my MFT Snowflake Trio Die-namics and a touch of Stardust stickles for a bit of Bling..
Here are a couple of pics of the inside with a gift card inside so you can see how it will look..8-)
