Christmas Chunky

When I got my theme for this chunky my heart fell! I love Christmas and everything about it, and was looking forward to making a glittery festive chunky. But I got "Bah Humbug" as my theme! So I put my thinking cap on and bought lots of black and grey bits to add to my stash, and fell in love with my theme. I found out about Creepmas, and bought some wonderful digi images from Rick St Dennis which I loved. I fell in love with this chunky it sat in its embossed underwear for a week as I though it looked so pretty!! Then went on the digi stamps that took ages to colour in with promarkers, then some lovely TH tinsel which again I would never have bought if not for this theme! Then the final piece sourced off eBay, the bauble!! As soon as it arrived I knew it was too big! Ive made a few attempts to make a smaller version without success, so I finally took the plunge and stuck it on! I think it looks like a bomb! I has a play with stuffing bits round it to try and get the proportion right but nothing looked right, so Ive left it as is, its grown on me! My swapee can always remove it if its to OTT for her.I finally added the bottom to it which although so simple I really liked it. So thanks to my swappee for inspiring a chunky that I love, I hope they do to x
