Santi Beaches and Patterned Paper

Patterned Paper is the theme for our July challenge at Christmas Craft Creations!   

Our challenge will run until July 12th so make sure to upload your creation by then for your chance to win a special prize.

The very first Design Team I worked with was Dude Time Doodles (unfortunately no longer operating) and they created some very funny and unique images and this one is no exception.  The image is Santi Beaches and is one of my faves.  

I colored Santi with Copic markers and added glossy accents and Nuvo glitter drops on various parts of the image.  I found this patterned paper Santa Vacation on Etsy by Pretty Grafik.

Thanks so much for stopping by and don't forget to jump over to CCC and check out the fabulous creations by our Design Team.

DTD Sketch Challenge

It's time for another sketch challenge at Dude Time Doodles!

You will have until Tuesday, September 13th to flip, twist, and work the Sketch.

You are not required to use Bonibleaux Designs although it would make us really really happy and giggle a lot if you did!
MUST be a masculine themed card, you can use humor, innuendo, be a little naughty, sarcastic, but it has got to be for a DUDE!
Remember, you have one week to link your fabulous creation to Mr. Linky over at Dude Time Doodles Challenge Blog. The winner will be announced on Tuesday, September 13th.
Now, let me introduce you to Santi Beaches, he's not your typical Santi as you can see!

I used digi paper from Funky Hand and glossed him up with Glossy Accents and used white puff stuff for his beard and hat. I added glitter to both glossy accents and puff stuff. I also added a wooden toothpick to give the illusion of a sun umbrella.
For more inspiration, head on over to DTD and see what the Dudettes have created for you!
