A Sassy Holiday...

Oh my!  Not my typical Holiday card... but I did have fun coloring and layering her to be a 3-D image.  And, I have an 80+ year old cousin who will get a kick out of her... so done and done!

TECHNIQUE
[Note: specific information on supplies and sources 
will be found below under “Supplies”.]
Image was printed three times, colored with Copics, fussy cut, sculpted and then layered on foam tape.  Four layers of scrap papers from Basic Grey were layered as a background and the focal image layered on top.   You can see the depth a little better in this angled shot on the right.  The sentiment was stamped and slipped in under one of the layers and three pearl clusters [the last ones ever!] were added as bling.
