Be Merry!

Hello! I whipped a quick card today which is a rarity for me, lol. What made it quick was a few dies: the My Favorite Things Snow Drift, Blueprints 21 & Fishtail Flag dies. Not much coloring involved in the little penguin which also added to finishing the card quickly. I realized after I photographed the card, that my little tree row shifted upward, over the snow drift on the left, but didn't have time to reshoot. The flaw is proof that this card is handcrafted...LOL! Below is the card interior with coordinating papers & design.

Okay, Here's the Deets:

Stamps: Lawn Fawn "Winter Penguin" & "Snow Day", Stampin' Up! "Be Merry" Sentiment

With Love At Christmas

Hello! I have a card made with another of my new Lili of the Valley stamps, made in Leeds, England. My new guilty pleasure! I love these little people and the style of the illustration...so sweet & whimsical. I originally colored the image before the one you see in the photo above, and put glitter glue on the little girls fur collar and hat, but the little girl's blonde hair smeared from the glitter glue. YIKES! I had to recolor a new image so I didn't dare mess with glitter glue over top Copic coloring. Lessons learned here, lol. Below is a close-up of the colored image.
