OK, we've reached the most impossible day for alphabet prompts - the dreaded "X" !! Last year I did a card with "X Marks the Spot" but this year, I borrowed (CASEd?) an idea done by Donna at Popsicle Toes last year, Xs and Os. What could be better than snuggling up for hugs and kisses at Christmas - with or without mistletoe? The darling penguins are from Beccy's Place, appropriate for the 30 Days of Christmas daily challenges which have been going on there all month long.
I started with a pre-colored image, then used ProMarkers and white gel pen to add the shading and highlights. The XOXOs and the sentiment were printed as part of the image. The image piece was cut with a die from QuicKutz and matted with a square of green CS.
The plaid dp was a scrap as was the blue CS. Everything was mounted onto a kraft card base. I added the little snowflakes for sparkly embellishments.

We're counting down the last few days of November and Saturday will be the beginning of December. Once again, I have no idea how the last year scrambled by so quickly! Why is it kids think time passes so slowly? :-D Happy Crafting. NanaConnie
I used the sketch at Stella Says Sketch,
flipping it side to side.
