Christmas Choir

 So how are you doing with that Christmas shopping, baking, cleaning?  I'm slowly picking my way through everything but honestly, if I had two months left to do it, I would probably drag it out for the full two months.  The pressure is on now though because it is approaching so quickly.  Before I get at our gift wrapping this morning, I thought I would post a card for the holiday.
This is two separate stamps from Whimsy's artist Chrissy Armstrong but they look like they belong together and it is one image.  I love these two little kids and their menagerie of animals.  The little girl is Whimsy's Christmas Choir Girl and the boy is Christmas Choir Boy and there was barely any masking to do to combine the images - just a wee bit by the mouse's hand and feet.  The snowflakes are Whimsy's Layered Snowflakes dies and I have to tell you, I use these all the time and am so glad I bought them.  They cut like a dream and are so versatile.
The paper is Authentique's Festive Collection which I won from Paper Parade - this is fabulous paper if you've not tried it yet... it's very thick paper and the designs are gorgeous.  I used Copics to colour the images and added some Stickles (one of my favourite embellishments!) to the gowns and the dots are made using a Viva Pearl Pen.
