A study in brown



   The challenge this week at Creative Corner is to make a Christmas card. So come and join us and get one step nearer to completing your cards.
   As this Lili of the Valley image is of a vintage looking character I thought I would just use browns on my card. I printed the background paper using the La Pashe CD ROM 'Christmas with the Wrinkles' and the added vintage photo distress ink to it. This was then matted and layered onto brown mirri card and white card.
   I coloured image called 'Festive Lantern' using Spectrum Noir pens, added distress inks to the edges and glittered it. I then matted it onto brown mirri card fixing it at a slight angle.
   The words for the sentiment were cut from brown mirri card using Tattered Lace dies and glued to gold mirri card which had been cut using a Spellbinders label 4 die. I then added glitter to the top of the letters to simulate snow before attaching it to the card.

   I would like to enter this into the following challenges:
   Without Words - preparing for Christmas
   Lili of the Valley - merry Christmas
   Dream Valley - getting ready for Christmas
   Allsorts - masculine
   Stamping Sensations - Christmas

    What a gorgeous card Crafty, I love it! The image is beautiful and you've done a fabulous job colouring it in. The sheet music in the background is a wonderful compliment and I really like the shimmer from the mirri card matt. Great job!
    Cheers,
    Beccy
