Joy at Christmas....

Hi Susan here....

I have used a really great sketch from The Pixie Cottage for my card, my backing papers are a mix, the plain card in red and green is from The Paper Mill and the small sections of patterned is from an Artylicious CD called Seasons Greetings. All the edges have been distressed and glittered with stickles. The ribbon and pearls are from my local market, I made the bow on my bowmaker.

My gorgeous image is without a doubt 'Tilda', I used Pro-Markers to colour her in and I have mat and layered onto a plain green card, the edges have been distressed and glittered.

The flowers are a mix, the small white ones are from Wild Orchid Crafts, the small red ones are from John Lewis and the larger poinsettia are handmade, I drew the shape onto red card and cut out, glittered the edges and layered two together with a green calyx, the yellow stamens are made using some yellow flock.

I am entering this card into the following challenges:-



Thank you so much for taking the time to look at my card, I hope you liked it.
Love Susan
