A new challenge starts today and it's also my last card as a member of Ike'sworld DT. I have loved working with Ike and the team but I'm going to be so busy this summer, including travels away from home and even away from the internet, that I simply had to cut some of the DTs on which I serve, and Ike's was one of them. Can you believe I was on 6 different teams? Yikes! For the remaining teams, I'm working madly to pre-schedule posts.
Anyway, at Ike'sworld this fortnight, we have our usual "Anything Goes" theme but our optional twist is "Blue Christmas (in July)" and you can do anything Christmas if you want to use the twist. I found this fun and funny "Bah Humbug Bulldog" in Ike's store and decided to do him in non-traditional blues instead of red for his Santa suit and hat. Don't you just love the expression on his face?
I used my ProMarkers to color him, then die cut him with a stitched circle die from Die-namics. The dark blue frame is cut with a die from QuicKutz. I added dp from an old DCWV Winter stack and found the sparkly snowflake borders in my Christmas stash. No telling how old those are but they still sparkle brightly even though it doesn't show much in the photo. They're also 3D so it gives some great dimension to the card.
Challenges:
12 Months of Christmas

Please come play along with us. Remember, it's always "Anything Goes" but you can use the twist if you desire. You may use any images from any company but if you have Ike's Art images, we'd love to see them! Happy Stamping. NanaConnie
