At Jingle Belles, we were thrilled when we found out our prompt fell on April Fool's Day this week ... a perfect opportunity for a Jingle Belles, Batman Smells Prompt ... yes, we're that silly ... sometimes we just sit and giggle at our own silliness ... trust me, it keeps you from taking life too seriously.
So this week' we're asking you to make a humorous holiday card ... it can be snarky, silly, or just plain laugh-out-loud funny.
I started with the fabulous Stella from Bugaboo Stamps because she always makes me giggle.
My card is completely colored using digital paper-piecing with digital papers. You can watch Kristina's Video here ... or Allison's great tutorials here & here. I love playing around with the colors and pattern-sizes in my papers (these were large polka-dot papers that I sized way down to work with the size of my image ... finished card is 5 1/2" square).
I finished by adding some stickles to the snowflakes and some colored pencil highlights to the design.
We hope you have fun this week ... use keyword JB14 for uploads to SCS or our Flickr Gallery ... click on over to Jingle Belles to check out Lauren's hilarious take on the LOLCats Christmas.
LOL...love it!

Beautifully pieced, very amusing card! I've been watching your blog all week, but haven't commented on anything until today (too busy). Love EVERYTHING you've been posting - Huck Finn and baby cards and you and your husband go to some really great places - thanks for sharing your adventures, too!
