Christmas card

 
Posted by Picasa


Hi
At last I have made a Christmas card! It's a bit smaller than I intended, but after binning so many of my first efforts I decided to trim up this one - I just can't keep my inky fingers away. So I have not used the smaller set of baubles - I'd be here to Christmas 2011 if I did lol. After seeing the very talented Barbara from Clarity demonstrating these beautiful bauble stamps on Ideal World and me having a good supply of Copics, thought I could do that! Not! But, I'm not giving up on the mega sized card that Barbara made so watch this space, even though you may have a long wait!! I stamped the image with Adirondak eggplant and coloured using copics and Promarkers. I stamp the edge with Versamark and embossed with clear EP and sponged with eggplant and raisin. Then added some stickles and glitter to a couple of the baubles. Thank you all for stopping by xx

Oh Joy it is wonderful you have coloured those baubles perfectly. Don't be hard on yourself your standards are very high and work always beautifully constructed and this lives up to everything we have come to expect. xx Zoe
