Oh no, I'm soooo late with this card, there's just not enough hours in the day. This is last Fridays Bugaboo freebie, so I hope you all have him safely saved on your computers and have been busily making cards and other fantastic things with him!! If not, get over there now!
My Card. First I cut the card down a bit as I wanted to add that embossed border. (and still have the card fit the envelope). The border came with some crafty goodies. There were a few others in with the order.. Great way of getting people to buy die-cuts, send them a few samples! (Only, I haven't bought this one yet but I did buy a snowflake corner)
I edged the front of the card with a red Poppy Promarker and then added some papers from Paper Cellar, 'Modern Christmas'. I'd already coloured and 3D-ed the Sock Monkey, so he has an extra ski and an extra head and the neck of the scarf. I was then a bit stumped at what to do! Found a bit of parchment and used a Dovecraft holly border punch on it. Took the sparkly green ribbon off a bought card, ( I didn't buy it!) there was just enough, added the card candi, some Stickles glitter.
The silver star was added to hide a red fingerprint, oops! I'd already punched out another star boarder, which I didn't use, but thought the tiny stars would make the Monkey look like he was seeing stars after his tumble in the snow...and for the snow I added some very fine Flower-Soft which was free with a crafty mag ages ago. I then die-cutted the 'Fun' and added some red stickles to it
