Today I had the pleasure of colouring and creating with the super cute
Sherri Baldy's My Besties img826
- Adorable Little Monsters Christmas - Mini Monster - digital stamp
to make a monstrously cute non-traditional Christmas card.

I placed the image on my Silhouette Cameo design mat, sized it to fit on an A5 sheet, added a digital sentiment (combination of the Alyssum Blossom and Ariel fonts) and printed it on A5 X-Press It blending card.  I heat set image panel, trimmed down to 5 1/4" square, then coloured with Copic markers.  You can't see it very well, but I tried a technique to add texture to the fur.  I took a piece of towel, wet it with colourless blender alcohol then blotted the image ... I think it might have worked too well!  I matted the image panel several times using Perfect Layers Rulers then adhered it to a 6 1/4" card base.  I die cut several mistletoe sprigs from white cardstock, leafy sprigs from shades of green cardstock and a dimensional bow from pink (bubblegum) cardstock, then used liquid adhesive to assemble them together on the card front.
I finished off the card front by adding Stardust Stickles to the sparkling gems of her necklace.
I matted the inside of the card with several layers to co-ordinate with the front.

... after looking at my card while writing my blog post I thought it needed something more, so I cut some more white mistletoe sprigs, coloured some rhinestones to match the darkest pink Copic marker and added them to the cluster under the bow.



What do you think?
Better with bling?

   

NOW it's YOUR turn!
