Ornamental Mimi...



One last Christmas card... I liked this one.  The focal image was stamped and then masked, then the green pine sprigs were stamped "behind" the ornament with "Pine" Distress Inks as a base. The main image was colored with Copics, mounted on a dark green panel and then on the base card.  The sentiment was stamped, punched out and floated with foam tape at the bottom. Embellishments include the Martha Stewart punched "lace" on the left, a silver heart brad securing a loop of ribbon, Duo Glue/ foil on the stars and top on the ball and finally glitter glue was applied to the wings.

Urchin with Bird...

This Digi-image from Mo Manning called "Urchin with Bird" is a great NewYear's image I think.  Love the layers - definitely fun to color!  The white base card has a tri-fold and is covered with Basic Grey paper that was punched with the Martha Stewart trellis punch. Next added is the silver elastic ribbon on the front side panel.  The image is colored with Copics, the corners "Ticket Stub" punched, and that panel is mounted on a solid color panel that coordinates with the Basic Grey.  The embellishing bling consists of four faux brads made with Duo Glue and foil as were the snow flakes.  Below is the card opened so you can see the appearance with the side tri-fold and the lattice punch on the inside.
