It's (nearly) Christmas!

Hello!  I'm back to tell you about the latest challenge over at Lovely hAnglar or Sweet Magnolia.  It's our last challenge of 2014 so the theme just has to be Christmas.

Here's what I made

 

 

I bought myself a light box recently and I'm still trying to figure out the best way to have the lighting, so do forgive the quality of the photo.  I used one of my favourite hAnglar Christmas images and coloured her with Copics.  I used a Sakura Souffle pen as a change from glitter on the trim of her hat and around the lacy parts of her dress.

 

The DP is Magnolia and it's been put onto a linen card base with a Martha Stewart PATP border.  I wanted to pick up the hearts in the paper so I painted some Simon Says Stamp hearts with red Fresco Finish, then covered them with Glossy Accents.

 

The Ribbon Girl are our sponsors this time:

 

Lifelong crafters Mother and Daughter, Mary and Andrea were tired of having to buy full rolls of ribbon and lace when they only needed one metre.  Because they love ribbons and all things pretty, they decided to open their own online shop in 2010 and make small quantities of beautiful products easily available to all crafters. Mary owns the shop and runs it on a day to day basis as well as keeping the website updated while Andrea looks after the social side,  The Ribbon Girl Blog and the Design Team. They specialise in supplying small (or large) quantities of ribbon, twine, gorgeous vintage style lace and seam binding ribbon, tiny pom-pom and ric-rac trim, all sorts of buttons, fancy pins, a multitude of charms, pearl and crystal flourishes, wool felt squares, seasonal and unusual embellishments, mulberry flowers, sticky tape and accessories to card makers, crafters, scrapbookers and cake decorators. They stock only the best quality products and only offer for sale goods that they would personally buy and use themselves.



Do come on over to Lovely hanglar or Sweet Magnolia and join in the Christmas fun.

Hugs
