We all know about Scrooge's famous "Bah, Humbug" phrase but now there's "Bah, Hum-cat"and he's as Dickensonian as can be! Image is from Rick St. Dennis.
I colored him with ProMarkers, then fussy cut the image. I used a die from Spellbinders to cut out an oval from a scrap of forest green CS, and trimmed it top and bottom to fit the size of the card. I was actually using not the oval die cut but the negative piece left behind. I saved the oval for some other project. That went down on a white card base for a look of some winter snow behind the image.
It looked a little bit plain with the image sent into the empty oval so I looked for something else to add. I found another scrap of green CS, dug out a Sue Wilson die, and used it to cut the delicate, filigree frame. I glued that down (a long and tedious process because of all the tiny curlicues) and then added the image and sentiment on top of it.
Finally, I added a bit of red glitter to his bowtie for a tiny bit of sparkle.

I love the image and how he's colored. This is so much FUN! Love it. So glad you joined us at Morgan's ArtWorld.
Oh boy, he does look grumpy!! Maybe his tie is too tight! Such a fun Christmas card!
This is so humorous - love the sentiment and the pop of red against the green. Thanks so much for joining us this time at the Pattie's Creations Challenge, elizabeth (DT)

Loving the negative cut out from the die, it makes for an awesome frame. The image is so fun.
