Hello Everyone...I'm still here!! Life has been very busy. We had a houseful over the weekend...celebrating Hubby's retirement...lots of Fun!!. Yesterday we were in the city (4 hrs away) visiting my Mother. Her 91st birthday is on Friday. It was so nice to see her...and she is looking well. We also really enjoyed being able to make this trip during the week instead of on the busy weekend.
The weather has been just Wonderful. We still don't have any snow...Amazing!!..and this afternoon we were outside without coats!! It looks like it may even continue for a bit!!
Onto the card....I actually made this card in September. The beautiful flowers are from Magnolia. This Lovely Tilda stamp is - HV08 Tilda with Wood Basket (Winter Collection 2008), HV08 Ticket - A Merry Christmas (Christmas Collection 2008)
The image is colored with copics under the prismacolor pencils and a touch h20's to deepen the shade and add a little sparkle. *(Please remember.....do not use copics over prismacolor pencils or the wax from the pencils will ruin your copic tips!)*
I used Martha Stewart snow on the ground. Glitter on the wings and dress. The snowflake is cut from white glitter paper with a Cuttle bug die.
Paper: - Cardstock - Magnolia (green, gold) Bazill (red, light green for ticket), Georgia Pacific (white), Patterned Paper - K&Company - Christmas Cheer, Best Occasions - white glitter paper. Ink: - Memento black, Stampin' Up - creamy caramel, barely banana, cranberry crisp. Accessories: - Cuttlebug snowflake die, Martha Stewart leaf punch. Martha Stewart snow and fine glitter, Sewing machine - stitching. Prima holly leaves, Magnolia - glittered poinsettias and lace, gold eyelet, jute string, tiny rhinestone flowers on background.
Have a Great Day Everyone....Take Care!...and Thank You for the Lovely Comments!!
