Christmas freebie from Dude Time Doodles


Happy Saturday!!

I've got a special treat for you today.

Dude Time Doodles is offering a freebie each Saturday in December and this is my weekend to showcase one of the new releases that Boni is offering as a freebie for today.

This is Kris Jingle.  He's all tangled up in the Christmas lights trying to figure out how in the world the strand could still be working one it's not plugged in!! 

This is my new favorite Christmas image from Dude Time Doodles.  I love the look on Kris' face.    I colored Kris with my Copic markers, cut him out with my Labels 22 Nestie with his feet sticking out of the die, and sponged around the edges with some red ink while the image was still in the die.

Then I put some faux stitching around the embossed edge and matted it on to some deep red cardstock.
I think put some Marvy Snow Marker to create the fuzzy portion of his Santa hat.  Then put Stickles on top of that and on the light bulbs to give it some sparkle.
In this photo you can see the puffiness of the "fuzzy" portion of the hat.

You can get Kris Jingle for a limited time for FREE at Dude Time Doodles.

I'm entering this card into the following projects:

Inspirational Card Sketches:  sketch
2 Sisters: Christmas
Paper Cutz: Jingle All The Way
Pattie's Creations: Christmas
Cute Card Thursday:  anything goes
Paper Crafting Journey:  Christmas
Cooking It Up With Katie:  anything goes

It's Christmas time chicas!!!

  8. Oh, he's just wonderful, Cleota! I'll be popping over to Dude Time to grab him, for sure. Maybe I can use him for a post next week as a reminder that Dude Time is sponsoring Cooking It Up with Katie all through December. Fabulous coloring and sponging on the image!
