Today is the start of a new challenge at Crafting for all Seasons and the theme is:  Anything But a Card.

Colored with Copics, Glossy Accents added, some Stickles, Glitter and gems.  The ornament is double sided so I colored 2 of the images and cut them out, adhered both  to 120 lb cs embossed with a snowflake Cuttlebug folder.  I used double sided tape to adhere the 2 images and the 2 backings, trimmed with a silver Krylon pen added the ribbon to hang.

Rory's Letter to Santa

There is another new challenge that begins today at Come And Get It, the DT were asked to make a card and anything but a card for this challenge.  I decided to make a fridge magnet to bring a little of the festive spirit into the kitchen.
Lacy Sunshine A Crafter's Candy Shoppe is our fabulous sponsor for this challenge.  They have such a wonderful variety of characters to choose from that are too fun to color and create with.   This is one of Heather Valentin's   (owner/artist) newer images for this year, her name is Rory's Letter to Santa

I printed Rory (image) out on Copic paper, colored with Copics, then using Modge Podge adhered the finished piece to white scratch board, adding another 2 coats to the top to act as a sealer.  I used a Krylon silver pen to outline/frame it in and glued a magnet to the backside.
