This week at Jingle Belles our theme is Animal Antics – we're asking you to create a holiday card featuring an animal having some Christmas fun (and yes, in the Jingle Belles work, a Yeti would qualify as an animal).
I remember I had the Penny Black 12 Days of Christmas set that had never been inked (NBUS Challenge for me), so I chose the Drummer for Day 12 to feature on my card. I stamped him in black and used holiday colors of alcohol ink to color him in. It reminded me of when I saved my allowance for weeks to buy my brother a little snare drum for Christmas.
For the background, I also broke out a NBUS product – the Penny Black Shimmering Tune Stick & Shine that I used with gold foil.
I'm also linking-up at the Penny Black Saturday Challenge with the Anything Goes theme.
We can't wait to see all of the fun critter cards.


This is so fun, Stef! He is beating to his heart’s content, so delighted to have GOLD sheet music! And what a sweet sister you were/are! Thank you for inspiring everyone to use their NBUS! Hugs, Darnell (I’m on holiday, otherwise I’d be sharing with my critter card!)
