Perfect Holiday...


...is the theme over at Less is More this week. 

I don't go on holidays, I rather buy craft supplies ;-)
No well actually I have cats and a vegetable plot, and those are my responsibility so I stay home.
I went to visit my dad for two days and man I missed my furries ;-)...


Anyway December 18th is my birthday and that's just a week from Christmas. I try to combine the both and go all out on Christmas, for me that's the perfect holiday.



So for my card I inkblended Memento inks (lulu lavender and summer sky) through a mask I made with a circle die.

I then stamped the Merry Christmas strip
along the "horizon" with Versafine onyx black ink. The stamp is from Studio Light (stampsL154).
The Polar bear is from My Favorite Things (polar bear pals) and I stamped him with MFT hybrid black ink, colored him with Spectrum Noir markers and then let the Scan N cut cut him out. Mounted him with foam tape.
