Cocoa Puff

Howdy! Trixie here again. I *finally* convinced Danni to make another holiday card. She was doing so well with finding her holiday spirit and then poof, it was gone so I've had to work extra hard! She's one tough ba-hum-bug to crack!



Before we get to Danni's card, I was asked to pass along that there are some fab new goodies at SCACD!
Now onto Danni's card~ I made asked her to go through her holiday images and find one that sparked an interest. She smiled when she got to the Victoria Case for SCACD Winter Wonderland Collection so I made asked her to pick one of those. She chose this uber cute Cocoa Puff


She seemed to drag her feet to get started but I reminded her of the last time she protested--seems there were sparkles everywhere and a certain monkey got her way--so she sat down and came up with this fabulous creation. (Don't tell Danni but I really do like her work..and oh my! I met her daughter, Annabelle--I'm going to see if I can get a gig working for her next!)

Danni started by masking off the image and sponging on ink to make the sky. Then she stamped the snowflakes that come free when you buy the whole collection of the Winter Wonderland Collection


She used sparkly fluff on the hat and gloves, Viva Decor transparent gloss gel on the mug and Viva Decor glitter liner on the snow/snowflakes. For her background she used her cuttlebug embossing folder on white cardstock and then spritzed it with Smooch Spritz in several colors.


She finished it the card with a pretty poinsettia, keeping it simple so the image (and sparkle) were the show stealers.





The little details~ Cocoa Puff, Memento Tuxedo Black, copics, cardstock, Palette Starry Night ink, VersaMagic Pretty Petunia, Palette Prussian Blue, Palette French Lilac, souflee' pen, corner rounder, Viva Decor Gloss Gel,Viva Decor Glitter liner, sparkly fluff, Smooch Spritz, cuttlebug embossing folder, Petaloo Poinsettia,

Toodles~
