Anyhoos' I'm here to share my latest 'Happy Little Stampers Christmas' DT creation with you. This month the optional theme is....

MISTLETOE

don't forget we are an ATG challenge, with this as an extra option.

I decided to go along with the extra option for this month. I had seen this image as a freebie, over at Power Poppy, a while ago & knew I would use it for this challenge. Sadly its no longer a freebie 😞So its been sitting in my 'for future challenges' draw all ready to colour!

I decided to do it with no lines! I didn't think it looked right, but then as you keep colouring it changes & I am always amazed when I finish a no lines colouring how good it looks without the harsh lines!! What do you think? Do you prefer colouring with lines or without them!?
