Love to Scrap! Challenge Blog #19 - Let's Get In Shape

Is it really December already?  Wowzeers!!  Well, it's time for another challenge at Love to Scrap! Challenge Blog.  This time we don't want to see squares and/or rectangles, just some shapes.  That means any shape you want to do, but no squares of any kind allowed. 

It's so wonderful to have Lacy Sunshine sponsor another challenge for us. The images are fun and sassy, just down right adorable.  The winner of this challenge will recieve 5 images of their choice from Lacy Sunshine.


I haven't done too many shape cards, I guess I find them challenging.  For this challenge I thought about doing a mitten shape, but when I saw Krystal sitting on a round ornament in this image and all the circles, I knew what needed to be done.  I made a big ornament to put the image on.


I colored my image with water colorpencils and regular colorpencils.  Glitter was needed for the snow. Flocking powder was used to give depth to the fur on her outfit.  I had to sponge the outer edge of the circle to the image, there was a square shadow I had to hide, ssshhh (no square challenge).  I used a tab punch to make the top of the ornament and tied a ribbon and twine around the tab.  I know it is hard to see, but I used crushed ribbon to make stripes on my ornament.


The inside was kept very simple.  I just added a few snowflakes with a short, but very true sentiment.  

thanks for looking and reading :o)
