Put your boots on!

 Hello crafting friends

I find no shame in continuing to showcase Christmas cards during the driest July in UK history, especially as my craft room doubles as the present room when it comes around to the big day.  When this happens I end up using only what I can get to from my desk and I'm usually so busy my cards end up a bit pants as I don't spend enough time on them! 

I made this using the Christmas festive fun gnomes from Polkadoodles for our latest blog challenge.  You can make anything and use any image all for a chance to win some freebies (our choice) from the massive Polkadoodles range. 

This cutie is called 'put your boots on' 




I coloured him using Copics in teals and greens then fussy cut him out - edging him with a black pen.

The background is a combination of glitter paste through a star stencil and black nuvo drops.  I then used a Polkadoodles tag die and layered him on top with foam pads.  It was missing an edge, so I doodled all the way around with a black fine liner to add detail.

I can't wait to see your entries in the blog challenge!
