Measurements: Image panel before borders – 2 x 3 ½”, blue strips are ½” wide, swirl strip is 1 ¼” wide before the border.
-On white glossy paper I attempted to do the polished stone technique with two colors and I use a spray of alcohol after itÂ’s applied to blend the colorÂ…well it all blended into one color unless you look real close. Oh well, I like it anyway!
-I then stamped with VersaMark with the dots and heat embossed with heat and stick and poured on pink glitter.
-Since I started out cutting the panels from scarp I just stuck with the program and used up some stored die cut pieces for the star, snowflakes in circle and the white snowflake; all from Cuttlebug. The blue snowflake is from Martha Stewart.
-Image is colored with Prismacolor pencils and baby oil.

Super cute Roxie! This sketch is starting to get me motivated to get back to stamping. I do have a ton of scraps I could use up. We shall see. I do like your card and the sketch.

Oh so pretty! Soft and gorgeous. The upper left hand star and the little horizontal squiggies as well as the bit of red and green holly all make lovely accents to the soft blues.
