Wishful Thinking?

So I'm finally done with all my handmade Christmas gifts, and it's time to start going through this month's Cat's Pajamas Tuesday challenges. I got the shiny one in over the weekend with one of my toffee boxes (I have two more designs I made that are shiny too), and here's my Christmas card....of sorts....with the big scallop edge die, although the way the card turned out you can't see it too well. I went for the tilted image again, and I'm not a tilted girl, but it worked on this. I wanted the snow bunny to look really white, so I stamped on kraft and colored with Copics, then used a Q-tip to put some white pigment ink on top. I drew in some additional snow mounds under the bunny (LOVE coloring that guy!) and put some of my tinsel glitter as snow, then cracked open the snowflake die from my last TCP order and punched out some flakes. I thought about putting some stickles on top of them but changed my mind...thought it might be overkill. I used my copic air brush to spray the tag with a sky blue then broke apart the sentiment to make it fit...kinda like it. Hoping this card will inspire Mother Nature into giving us some actual winter weather around here. I truly think winter is for freezin' my keester off and shoveling snow, neither of which has happened around here yet and it's getting ridiculous. Thanks for stopping by!
