I can't believe its May 1st

At this rate it will be Christmas before we know it. I'll be ready this year though as here is another Christmas card:



I've used 'Snow Goddess' a gorgeous digistamp from Michelle Perkett, coloured with promarkers and clear sakura stardust highlights. I've also used glossy accents on her eyes and to highlight the little holly berries on the wreath around her shoulders. She is matted onto a cirle of glossy card coloured with Big'n'Juicy hydrangea inkpad and then onto another circle of silver card. The snowflake bps are make using Tim Holtz snowflakes stamped in versamark on glossy card and brayered with the same inkpad. I've tried to fade the colour towards the centre and I'm quite pleased with the result. I've matted the bp squares onto silver card, added a couple of bows and attached a tiny bell with jump rings.

I've made this card for the following challenges:
Bah Humbug: Snowflakes
I love promarkers: A lovely sketch this week, perfect inspiration for this card
Fab's Big Christmas Challenge: Wreath and glossy accents
Corrosive Challenge: Lucky charms (does my little bell count as a charm?I hope so)


Thanks for looking

  1. Claire this is a beauty, I really like the image and will have to go and investigate further.
    You seem to have cracked the brayering which is more than I have done.
