This week's challenge at the Outlawz Alcohol Marker Group is "Anything Goes and/or Christmas". You should go visit my teammates blogs to check out their work and should also play along with the challenge and share your project for a chance to win a prize from Make It Crafty!
So without further ado, here my bad pun card!
Gnomey Peter was resized in PhotoElements and printed out onto Neenah cardstock using my laser printer. He was colored with Copic markers, then fussy-cut.
Since I had to make a holiday card and since that raised finger made me think he was issuing a warning, I decided to play a bit with the song Santa Claus Is Coming to Town. I googled and after a while, finally found free downloadable sheet music for the song. PhotoElements was used to erase the existing song lyrics and I typed in a substitution. The music was printed out onto regular old printer paper and airbrushed with Copic markers to make it all matchy, matchy with my coloring. Some patterned paper from an old My Mind's Eye 6x6 Christmas-themed pad was adhered to the bottom to "ground" Gnomey Peter. Pine Needles Distress ink was used along the edges of the papers and the piece was adhered to a green card. The final touch was to add ancient transfer type to a Talk Bubbles die-cut by Simon Says Stamp.
Thanks for visiting today!
