Hello my friends, I am back. Had a couple of posts off to allow me some time to be with family. Thanks for sticking by.
Todays sketch really was wide open and I wanted to do a Christmas themed card but not the traditional style. Out came the Fancy Frost Speciality Paper from the Holiday Catalogue and a sponge with Soft Sky and the process began.
Here is the sketch for this week.
Here is a peek...I used the Floral Phrases rose as a focal point.....I call it the Christmas Rose....
I pulled out the Mavelous Markers and used a little Cherry Cobbler and Real Red on the flower and Pear Pizzazz and Old Olive on the leaves. I matted the art piece with a piece of Cherry Cobbler and Soft Sky. Then a fabulous JOY from the Wonderful Wreath Framelits Dies.
Along the side I placed a piece of Soft Sky and stamped that with the Stars from the Tin of Tags Photopolymer stamp set. The Fancy DSP has stars in it as well and those I painted with the Wink of Stella Clear. Hard to see but it is quite pretty.
Now away to the rest of the hop. Thanks for stopping by and will hope to have you visit again.
Cheers from....
Beautiful card. I love the Christmas rose!
