Xmas Card #09

Didn't get much crafting done this weekend, though the weather is still quite pants ... apparently we've had the wettest (or second wettest, can't remember) since records began.  Now there's a surprise!

I thought I'd have a go at one of these white based cards, wow they're difficult!  I added texture with my embossing folders and popped my wee girl and Christmas tree up on dimensionals.  Glittered up the tree, her pompoms and the wee stars, so its nice and sparkly but doesn't really show up in pic. Coloured my gems and snowflake to match her nightie.

Xmas card #01

Grrr I'm getting really fed up with this head cold.... every time I blow my nose my ears pop and I go deaf for half an hour!

Anyway, yes, you did read right, this is my FIRST Christmas card for 2012.  How smug do I feel!  I'm determined not to be caught out like I was this Christmas. And I know, blah blah, I've probably said that before LOL!

I got my new dies out for this card, inspired by the Die Cutting Challenge in the Moxie Fab World (there's a prize of their latest mag Cool Tools up for grabs and I'd love to get my mitts on it!)  There's loads of new goodies on this card ... my wee tab die and star border from Dienamics, Echo Park DP and the wee girl is from Marianne Designs.  (The bigger star dies are from Taylored Expressions) Coloured her with promarkers and added some glitter to her hairband, slippers, tinsel and some clear gloss to the baubles.  Looks so much nicer and sparkly IRL!  I think this image would work well with that lovely skinny tinsel ribbon, but I forgot to order myself some when I was in my spending spree and the guilt has already struck. Ha.
