Day 1 - A

Beccy's inspiration is a cute bear card HERE  

My A is for Animal, a pretty purple monster.

Introducing Harold Monster,

a pre-coloured digital stamp from the Lil Monster digital stamp set.

This stamp set is currently on sale as part of Beccy’s

48 hours of throw back Thursday HERE, so if you want to get creative with these

cute monsters, head on over now, TODAY, before they're gone forever!

As soon as I saw these cuties on our Aussie Halloween, I immediately saw the purple monster sending Christmas wishes and they quickly jumped into my shopping cart!

Here is my Harold Monster, filled lots of MERRY.

I popped Harold in an ornament from the Five Baubles digital stamp from the

Festive Baubles digital stamp set (has been retired and is no longer available).

I printed the image panel, added a touch of colour with Copic markers to finish off my "Harold ornament" then trimmed the image panel to size.  I matted the image panel with a luscious 1/8" red glitter cardstock then adhered it to a 5 1/2" square top folding card base, finishing the card off with some sparkling red rhinestones.
