It's time for the next monthly challenge at World Wide Open Design Team and, as usual, we have an Anything Goes theme. I used this sweet image from Julia Spiri called "Little Lori." It wasn't designed to be a winter or Christmas image, but I used gel inks to add the snow and it made a perfect Christmas Eve image. Can't you just feel Little Lori missing all those who are due to come for Christmas?
I colored with ProMarkers, then used dies from Art Impressions to cut both the image and the frame. I chose a pre-made card base from DCWV and the "Holly Jolly" design is printed right onto the card front.
I went through my stash of Christmas ribbons, found two that were gold and glittery, used one to wrap the card front and the other to tie a double loop, double layer bow with the help of my Bow It All.
I printed and hand cut the sentiment.

I was influenced by the sketch from My Favorite Things
but I flipped it a quarter turn so that my card would be horizontal instead of vertical
and moved the vertical bow off the image to the side.
