Christmas is coming!!

Welcome - thanks for visiting my blog again.

This week at McMahon Five Design.com Christmas designs are the theme of the releases - I decided to show case the Purrfect Stocking image.


As a cat lover this image had instant appeal - I decided not to colour the kitten, rather to showcase him by surrounding him with colour.


I used Lyra watercolour crayons to paint the image, added some Crystal Stickles for glitter, over painted the holly leaves with twinkling H20's, and used a metallic gold pen for the bells.


This photo shows the sparkle a little better.

I mounted the coloured image onto some red card stock, and doodled some faux stitching around the edge of the white with a red pen.


The finishing detail was this variegated 'eyelashes' yarn wound around the top of the image panel and tied in a bow.

The other design team diva's have made some amazing samples, so please visit them - the links are on the sidebar.

Thanks for visiting - please call again.
May your day be blessed

Oh Maxine..... this is ADORABLE!!!! LOVE the kitty and I think you made a good decision to leave her white and surround her with color! It's stunning and I'm a kitty lover too! Oh how I'd love another one... a white one to go with my black one that I already have! :) Thanks for asking about things at our house... things are still pretty unsettled but we're wading through it step by step and looking at our options. God is in control... I'm thankful for that assurance!
