Here is today's card:
My card base and mats are SU Baja Breeze and the patterned papers are from a couple of K & Co. Christmas 12x12 pads. The beautiful image is Christmas Bells from the Elisabeth Bell Digital Collection. I printed her on MiC Blending card and colored her with my Copics. I added lots of sparkly white glitter to the trim on her cape, dress, boots and muff. I added a couple of snowflakes cut from glitter paper with Cheery Lynn's Snowflake 2 die. Crocheted lace, a satin bow, a few Wild Orchid Crafts flowers and three Doodlebug Sugar-Coated brads finished my card.
Here is a close-up of the colored image:

ReplyDeleteLove all the fur trimmed out in sparkle.
Tell me about the cold. It was supposed to be 25 in my part of AL last night and still very cold. Some guys came today to change out my French door. Talk about getting the house cold. They have had that door out for almost 3 hours now. Brrrrrrrrrr
Beautiful, I love every thing about this one, that gorgeous image with the fantastic glitter and the sketch!!!! Oh yeah, those flowers too!!!
ReplyDeleteHi Carla, this is gorgeous! love your colours. The aqua colouring is stunning. Its a cold day here in Scotland today also..not that i have been anywhere, been nursing my mouth and Carrie shared her horrible flu bug with me!

ReplyDeleteCarla, Stunning card. Love how you placed the snowflakes adds an elegance and the sparkles are amazing. The softness of the blues and the extra touches gives a wonderful finish. Has been pretty cold and windy here but the week end is to be the 50's so not bad yet...
