This week's prompt at the Jingle Belles blog are the lyrics from the song Home for the Holidays.
Our talented Guest Star Rose was humming this song, when she was inspired to make an awesome holiday card that reminded her of her, and luckily for us, she wrote in to suggest it!
When I thought about my favorite holiday memories from home, the first thing that came to mind was all of the laughter. Our family prides itself in jokes and funny stories, with everyone trying to outdo the next person. Each holiday there is always some running joke that takes on a life of its own.
So I know it's a bit wacky (but hey, my family is a bit wacky), but this Trio of Jokers by Magenta reminds me of home … where making merry is always the focus of the holidays.
I also used these wonderful color inspiration photos from Jay Gee's Nook to inspire my card design.
I colored them using colored pencils (with white pencil and soft art eraser for blending) and added sparkly Golden Rod Stickles to the balls on their hats and the shirt buttons in the center. I finished with a Merry sentiment from Savvy Stamps and adhesive sparkling snow balls.
Can't wait to see your holiday memories of home.
Your card is so unique, I love it! I love the bright colors to it and how personalized it is for your family Christmas. Awesome!!
Amazing card!
I love that this card reminds you of happy times with your family Stef. It is such a fun image and I love how you have used the colours from the challenge. Thanks so much for joining us again at Jay Gee’s 🙂
