Just when I was getting used to not seeing Alvin, this cheeky little thing showed up earlier this month. For now I'm calling it a 'her' until I see anything develop. She is tiny and very industrious and is right at home sitting in the bird seed platter stuffing those cheeks.

I started with Mistletoe Artsy Paper 3 (and later duplicated it with blend mode Multiply @ 50% opacity to darken a bit). I brought in the Lagom frame transfer (BM Linear Burn), placed my photo on top, created an inverse mask and painted with artsy brushes in white to reveal Cheeks. I embellished with Mistletoe transfers, elements, button threadz, magic sprinklez, seeds and splatter brushes. Then added Incandescence Paper Texture1 and duplicated it for emphasis, Holiday WordART Mix 7 'so fun', with blend mode Linear Burn and a bevel/emboss layer style, and the date title.
