I think you all know by now that my favourite set in the Heffy Doodle first release are the crazy crocs – I could make cards with these guys all day long. Having made an extra background when I made the last card, I thought the green crocs would look fantastic on this Crazy Croc Christmas card!
Crazy Croc Christmas Card Tutorial
I watercoloured the background with my Kuretaki Gansai Tambi paints as I did for the Beary Merry Christmas card. Then I die cut this with an Avery Elle Wonky Stitches rectangle die and adhered to a white cardbase.
The croc is from the Happy Snappy Crocs set. I stamped the craziest pose and wine bottle with some Copic friendly MFT Black Licorice Hybrid Ink. I chose some YG Copics to contrast with the warmer background and coloured him in. I’ve had the Santa hat lying around on my desk for a week or so (I think it’s from the MFT Beast Friends set) and it was a perfect size for the crazy croc.
I gold heat embossed the sentiment from the Neat and Tangled Beary Merry set on some white cardstock. I noticed that I needed to add some more gold to balance it all out. Now I don’t actually have any gold metallic cardstock so I made a strip with the watercolour paints and layered the sentiment over the top. Then, I adhered the croc and his festive accessories on top and just had to add these crazy googly eyes to make him a little more crazy!
Some Wink of Stella and a few white gel pen touches and this card will be one I send to a crazy friend! 🙂
