CDAC Holiday Special Occasion Challenge

Hi Girls and Happy Saturday! I got another Christmas card ready for the season! Slow but sure....I'll get there. I chose to use this cute little feller. His name is Rudy. You can get this cute image over at CDAC where there's a challenge sponsored by Helen Laurence from Ellephantastic. You can find the challenge here and if you click on the Ellephantastic logo on my side bar it will take you to the shop where you can purchase lots of really cute images for even more crafting fun. Love his nose.....Here's my card All of the papers and embellies and ribbon are from a large selection of cardmaking supplies I purchased a few years ago from QVC. I sponged the edges of the DP and the vertical strips and cut them different lengths and attached 2 of them with dimensionals. The chipboard stars were plain so I added stickles to them and put 2 of them on a red cord and one of them on a red jump ring and attached it to the tag around Rudy's neck.

Cutie Rudy is colored with Copics, white gel pen, and RED Stickles for his shiny nose. I doodled around the rectangle, then sponged the edges with green and added some stickles to the ground. The little tag came with all the QVC stuff so I just added some red gems to it from my stash and sponged around it in red and added a green layer behind it. I put 2 little holes on each side of Rudy's neck (I was careful so as not to hurt him!!) to tie the cord through and attached the star with the jump ring.

Oh yeah, I put one of the little chipboard stars at the bottom corner of the image and added a little clear gem to cover the hole in the chipboard. He's a fun little image! I hope you can color him up and join in the challenge. Thanks for stopping by!

  1. This is adorable - I love this Rudy image I may have to check out the site and download him for myself - I love all the little extra details you put in to this card - the sparkly nose is perfect and the star tag around the neck really finishes it off nicely! I also love how you used different christmas ribbons -everything goes together just perfectly.
