Warm Winter Wishes... these two don't seem to mind the cold! Siku and Shiya from Mo's Digital Pencil don't seem to mind the cold at all! They look very happy!
I colored this adorable couple with my Prismacolor pencils. I added tinsel glitter from MS to all their "fur".
I bought the great paper at AC Moore. I didn't write down the name and after searching through the garbage in my studio I came up empty. So sorry. It is gorgeous though isn't it? I added the swirls to the corners with a great stamp from Inkadinkado. The set is called Artistic Flourish. All the stamping done on the card is from this set. I added some light blue glitter glue ($1 stuff from Joanns) to the edge of the image panel. The pearls and rhinestones are also from AC Moore throughout the project... oh! There's more! Wait til you see!
Are you ready? I'm in love with this project and I hope you like it too!
I had so much fun making this project until the wee hours of the morning last night...er, this morning! lol My inspiration came from our little friends on the front cover giving each other what I was always told is an "eskimo kiss". So, me being me, I started thinking about kisses and of course that means chocolate kisses, and one thing led to another and by 3am I had this box. TA-DA! I free-hand drew the "kiss" shape to cut out the window in the box. I covered it with acetate so you can see the yummy goodness inside. :)
On this side I have a tag I embossed with my Snowflake Cuttlebug folder. I love how deeply it embosses.
This side is a rather large box (6x7x2.5 deep) to hold lots of chocolate! I used the blue glitter glue around the edges of the cutout.
I am entering my box in the following challenges:
