Merry Creepmas - 12DOC ...

....  Morning!  How are your holiday preparations going?  We're all getting quite excited here.  And it's lovely to have both Jonathan and Kat at home - we're all on our holiday.  It's also day 11 of the 12 Days of Creepmas, sponsored by Smeared Ink.  If you look at today's card really quickly, you might almost think it's entirely Christmas, but it isn't, check out the letters!!!

Stamps: Rick St Dennis Digi - Creepmas Bones; Memory Box - Dancing Snowflakes; Stampin' Up! - Endless Wishes; Paper Source - Joy & Cheer
Inks: Memento - London Fog; Stampin' Up! - Bashful Blue, Pistachio Pudding, Pretty in Pink
Dies: Die-namics - Zig-Zag Stitched Rectangle Stax #5
Accessories: White Lustre Card; SU Card - Smoky Slate; Copic Markers; Glitter

I really like the soft pastel colours and all the sparkle on the large sentiment.  I printed it on white card, coloured with Copic markers and cut it out with a die.  I used a glue pen to go over all the letters, allowed it to get touch dry and then added glitter - lots of it!  I cut a panel of white card slightly smaller than the base and stamped the background image of snowflakes in soft grey.  I've adhered the sentiment panel flat to the card, so it's easy to post.  On the inside I cut a mat layer of pale grey card and on the white panel added a Christmas greeting and some pastel snowflakes.  I also took a close-up of the sparkle - so pretty!

RSD - AC - Creepmas Day 1 .....

... Hello - good morning!!!  I think you all know by now that I really, really like Halloween.  Well, I've discovered my second favourite holiday - Creepmas.  We all know that the retail industry likes to get Christmas decorations and gifts in the shops early, well several years ago, in response to all this getting in the way of Halloween, many people decided to let Halloween creep into Christmas - Creepmas!!!  And this makes me happy - I can play with somewhat left of centre images and still have "Christmas" cards.

Today is the first day of the Smeared and Smudged 12 Days of Creepmas challenge.  I have the honour of being the first of Rick's team to share my project with you:

Stamps: Rick St Dennis Digis - Creepmas Dolls, Creepmas Bones Senti; Waltzingmouse - Elf Made, Jolly Old Elf
Inks: Versafine - Onyx Black; Stampin' Up! - Gumball Green
Dies: Lil Inkers - Stitched Rectangles - #2, Stitched Squares #6
Accessories: White Lustre Card; Kaisercraft DP - Mistletoe; Copic Markers; Wink of Stella - Clear

I've used a couple of Rick's image on this card and you can get them at his Zibbet shop.  I printed the Creepmas Dolls onto white card, coloured with Copic markers and then fussy cut it out.  I added some shimmer to the image with my Wink of Stella brush in clear.  I went mad with the colours and did the toys eyes crazy colours.  I created the sentiment on the front by combining a couple of sentiments from Waltzingmouse.  I covered the front of the card with this red gingham paper and kept it quite simple by adhering just the digi image and sentiment.  On the inside of the card I used another sheet of design paper and added a fun Creepmas greeting.

I've decided (very late) to join in too - so here's the full list of those playing along:
