Sassy Holiday

I won this gorgeous lady from one of the challenges at  Sassy Studios Designs and just needed to use her, lol! This weeks challenge at Sassy Studio is a Christmas card with ribbon and bling and does she have bling!

I had originally had the vine in a green and it looked perfect until I photographed it, then the colour of the vine was really off! I tried inking the vine, changing to a different green colour but nothing worked. Then after an hour I thought, I'm wasting an hour trying to get ONE vine the correct colour. You know you need a break when...lol! The vine's white and looks fine.

Another Christmas card done and ready, sweet!

Snow Buddies

I had another fantastic day stamping with my friend Glenda and this is the card I made.I had originally coloured the snowmen's hats black but decided to change them to green. 

They were coloured with alcohol markers so I used the colourless blender to erase as much of the black as possible. Then I coloured over them with green, the result is the hats look like felt IRL. The photo doesn't do them justice. 

The inside says "Merry Christmas from your snowbuddies!"
