by now i think everyone knows that coloring tiny creatures so they have a bit of shading and so forth is pretty much my achilles heel. so i'm not even going to mention how long it took me to make these three cuties "card ready"... luckily they are so adorable that it was worth it! one of the reasons i chose this set (it's called "holiday pals") is because i had the feeling some of the cute eyelet outlet brads, like the elf hats, glasses and antlers, would work perfectly with the critters and i stand by that decision. midway through cutting out ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL those trees i was regretting my decision not to spring for the coordinating die set, and i would not rule out a return trip to the P3 online store, lol!
i'm playing along at sketch saturday, and since it's a "fifth saturday" we could choose any sketch from the archive. i went with #273 because it's awesome, and also, i thank it for remining me i had that cool fence die, which would work really well with the P3 stamps!
and now you really need to check out my SOS dt darlings' work over at shopping our stash! ♥
*i was lucky enough to win a $25 gc to pretty pink posh, with which i was able to choose THREE stamp sets and only went over my total by $2 woohoo! ♥
