Santa Possum

 


It's time for another challenge over at The Paper Funday.
Our challenges are alway Anything Goes with an optional twist.
The twist this time is 'It's All About the Candy'


We are very fortunate to have 2 sponsors for each challenge this year which means we get to choose which artist we would like to work with. This is really great as it gives us double the choice. We are very lucky with the amazing sponsors that are lined up this year, many of which are old favourites and some that are new to me.

We are sponsored this month by Colour of Love and Jan's Digi Stamps. Both of these are great designers who I have had the honour to work with their images in the past.



For this challenge I have chosen to work with this sweet little image Santa Possum from Colour of Love. The possum images I find very cute and this was a delight to colour. 



I used mainly Promarkers to colour adding pencil for the possum and also the background shading. As there was a spring of holly on the candy cane I decided to use traditional red & green colours adding gold for a complimentary colour.

The papers used are from 6" pads as the smaller patterns suited the size of the card better. I particularly wanted to use a striped paper to accentuate the candy can in the image.

I added lots of gems to the dots that are hand drawn on the image. Christmas cards are the perfect reason to add sparkle ☺ 

Finally I added a chipboard sentiment tag and found a scrap of bakers twine.

I hope you will join myself and our fabulous Team over at
The Paper Funday Challenge.

    I stared at the photo for a while before I realised the possum was hanging upside down! A great fun image.
