Christmas Stampin' All Year Long

Happy Monday kids!
Today brings a new challenge from the CSAYL blog!

Today's challenge is a sketch by the uber-talented Maria Bell.

Here's what I came up with...

A little disturbing? Perhaps...but I had someone specific in mind when I made it!
The snowflake images on the background are from SU's "Winter Post" set and the skull is from SU's "Just Jawing". The funny sentiment is a little gem I discovered in a GIANT bin of rubber at an expo I went to a few years back.

I cut some mini holly leaves out of Garden Green cardstock and added some jewels for the berries.
Then I added some Doodlebug Sugar Coating to the eyes, nose and one tooth to give that extra little *holiday sparkle*! The skull is mounted on a piece of Real Red cardstock that I embossed with a Cuttlebug "D'vine Swirl" folder.
I hope you're inspired to play along with us and get a head start on your holiday cards! I loved what everyone came up with last week for our "Inside Out" challenge, but this one by Mary was my fave!
Be sure to check out what the rest of the DT came up with and upload YOUR card by hopping over to the CSAYL blog.

Love this! I know what you mean about having someone in mind for a certain card...you wouldn't make this your family card, but a little naughty is good for THOSE friends or family members! LOL! Great card! I wish I had the drive to make holiday cards....sigh!!

Hmmmm,.... what a lucky friend to receive such a special and stylized card. Reminds me of an ornament I saw once.

It's unique and just right for someone specific!
