Digi Choosday Challenge – We’re Gonna Need a Bigger Tree?!!

Good morning everybody!  Hope you are well?

The team are in Christmas mode today (only a few months to go you know) and I have done a little digi-merging in Word to make my card this week.  I took ODDELLA FAIRY and placed her on top of the fabulously cute animal ‘tower’, SNOWDRIFT FRIENDS. 

So the story is this; ODDELLA attempted to stand on the rather teeny tiny decorated Christmas tree and managed to break it.  Oops!

So what could she do, a Christmas fairy NEEDS to stand on something?  Well it turns out all you need are FRIENDS. Hang some baubles (sequins) from them and there you go! Not too sure how happy they are about it though.  

Ingredients:

Images: ODDELLA FAIRY & SNOWDRIFT FRIENDS

Colouring: Copics

Colouring Paper: ULTIMATE GRAPHIC

Dies: Branch from BEARY CUTE DIE SET

Paper & Sentiment: WINNIE WHITE CHRISTMAS

Other: Tonic Snowflake Punches – Sequins – Tonic Nuvo Glitter Drops

I have a card to celebrate the New Year today that uses one of my all-time favourite images ODDELLA WITH BAG and one of Nikky’s fabulous chalkboard sentiments.

Poor Oddella doesn’t actually look in the party mood does she so I thought I would cheer her up by giving her a nice party hat cut VERY roughly from Kraft and coloured with gel pens. I think her expression says it all really!
