NBUS Merry Monday Critter

It's Merry Monday time again.

I have another NBUS stamp that I used for this card.

It's from the Winter Wonderland set by Penny Black.

We had some of these cute little birds in the gallery at Merry Monday last year
and they went on my list.

Here's this week's challenge brought to us by the sweet and talented Katie.

NBUS Challenge #3

I stamped the bird with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored with Copic markers.

I've added some Polar White Flower Soft to the hat for a furry look.

The background was stamped with Whisper White dots from the

Gorgeous Grunge stamp set.  I held off on buying that set for the longest time

but finally folded.  It does have some great stamps!

I sprinkled some some Fran-tage embossing enamel on the top and heated 

from the back.  This is a technique that my friend Susan uses a lot. 

She doesn't have a blog but posts often at Splitcoaststampers.

This was a NBUS too.  

The frame is from Simon Says and something else that I kept seeing in

the Merry Monday Gallery.  Just had to have that!

As you can see, Santa was very good to me at Christmas!

Hope you've got a Christmas Critter waiting to be put on a card.

Be sure to bring it by Merry Monday so we can see it.

Thanks for stopping by.

Enjoy!
