CC Designs Challenge Card

Hi Everyone,

Hope everyone's weekend is going well so far? I was watching the opening ceremony for the Olympic Games and definitely at times like this i really do miss London.

Well i did a Christmas themed challenge card today and it came out really well, it was one of those cards that just came together all by itself. Really pleased with her hair on this one but think i may have made it a smidgen too dark but its works well.

I used white base card and then cut out the white and green spotted paper and mounted this on red paper, i then cut the white and green striped paper and mounted that on red. I printed out my image yesterday before i knew what i was going to use her for and was a little concerned she would be too big but i found tilting the image on it's side after i had mounted in on green card stock, worked really well and anyone would think i have done it on purpose LOL

I put on some crimson ribbon and then made the two little bows out of the same ribbon, some pearls in the corner finished it off. I haven't added a sentiment as i generally chose those once i know who i am sending the card too.

Here she is


For this card i used the following
white card stock, red ribbon, green patterned papers from my stash
Paper xtra pearls
White Gel pen
Copics
HAIR E25, E27, E27
FACE E50, E51
JACKET R59
BOOTS C9, C7
COLOURLESS BLENDER 0
OUTLINED IMAGE WITH C1 to make it pop out a bit more
SAKURA BLACK AQUALIP on her coat buttons
SAKURA GELLY ROLL CLEAR STAR on her wings and the snowflakes

I am entering the following challenges

Thank you for taking the time to visit and for your lovely comments
