Patches Winter Birthday...



Good morning to all my blogging buddies!  I hope the week has been treating you well so far.  I live for the weekends, so any day closer to Friday afternoon is GREAT in my books ;)

I used this uber cute image:  Patches.  I think Patches looks like he's ready to snuggle, so I created a patchwork blankie background for him.
Card Ingredients:
StampFairy digi; DCWV Christmas papers;  Bazzill and Recollections cardstock;  Copics; Wonky Squares Nesties;  We R Memory Keepers Blue Lagoon baker's twine; Doodlebug Designs button;  Recollections pearls.

I made Patches for the following challenges:  Crafty Creations - Christmas Birthday;  The Sisterhood of Crafters - birthdays;  Sweet Stamps and Top Tip Tuesday - layers;  Cupcake Craft Challenge - buttons and bows;  Ooh-la-la Creations - let it snow;  Crafting When We Can - It's Christmas, Almost


Here's a little tip for you:  when coloring with Copic markers, sometimes I go out of the lines.  Instead of using the Blender Copic marker to push the ink back into the image, I use a white gel pen just to touch up on white cardstock.  It's WAY quicker and no one will ever know that you're not perfect ;)

Thanks for stopping by!
Stay crafty.
Deanne :)

Well, it's nice to know that I'm not the only one who whips out the white gell pen to fix boo-boos every once in awhile! :)
