Jingle Bell Rock and Snowy

So this was one of those special request cards that just makes you sigh!  The daughter of a friend in work wanted a card for her Geography teacher with a rock and the words 'Jingle Bell Rock' on it and I was totally stumped!  The only rock-type image I have in my stash that isn't part of a bigger image was this little mountain.  I don't even know if it looks like a mountain on it's own! It also took me absolute ages to find my little jingle bells - one of those things I'd seen recently but had no clue where they were! Anyway, this is the best I came up with.  I added some silver snowflakes to make it a bit more Christmassy and added some red glitter card arrows.
  • Allsorts #495 - inspired by a song - Jingle Bell Rock
This one was much more fun to make with good old Snowy ;) 
Coloured with watercolour pencils, sparkle added to his hat and scarf, and glitter to his hat trim.  Sentiment and snowflake cut from mirror card.

You did an incredible job on that "Jingle Bell Rock" card. I would have been at a total loss! I think the young girl will be very proud to give it to her teacher. Snowy is super cute, as always. Especially since he's decked out in a bit of sparkle.
