Well here we are at the last day of November I really can't believe it! I have put my Christmas tree up in the lounge and I must say it looks so pretty - all lilac and cream. We get a real one for the conservatory and that is done in traditional colours of red and gold but that will wait a few weeks - don't want it dropping before Christmas! Tomorrow I am off to Manchester by train with my daughter and Rowan to hopefully get some more Christmas shopping done but I don't seem to get much done when I am with them - too much distraction lol!
I have a card today to share that is made with one of Beccy's November releases called Finn's Hot Chocolate and he is available here.
I coloured Finn with my Copics and the papers are Nitwits. I used Spellbinders Grand Nesties for the card shape and mats. The sentiment comes with the set and I used Dienamics Fishtail Stax to cut that out. I cut the mug of cocoa and marshmallows out using CC Cutter die and added some Stickles to the marshmallows. Ribbon and heart from my stash.
Challenges I would like to enter:
Simon Wednesday Challenge - Anything Goes
Inkspirational Challenge - Christmas Optional No Red or Green
