I could not help myself and just had to choose this little fellow

He is called "Jiggy's Candy" and can be found here within the store

Here is what I created for my design team inspirational piece, but don't forget to hop over and check out the other inspiration by my fabulous design team buddies.

I created an acetate fronted card.  I hope you can see from this angle that the acetate front has been stamped with glue and glitter added.

The base layer is a gold mirror card, don't you just love the shine so perfect for Xmas.  I have used some of these papers

The one on the far right, you can buy these "Christmas Tree" papers here

I have added a tag and a little ribbon with bow using the holly MS edge punch to frame the acetate.

This is the image

I have masked the image to create the sky and grass around him.  He has been coloured in copics, with a white gel highlighter to add the extra highlights.  His toe nails have been coloured with a clear gel sakuro glitter pen.

Here is a close up of the glitter snowflakes on the acetate.

I really really really enjoyed colouring and creating this Christmas card.
