Congrats to Marie-Alice! What a wonderful gallery! I chose THIS beautiful card of hers. I kept the beach theme but made mine a Christmas card & used different images and colors.
I stamped the wonderful beach scene and colored w/ Copics, then used the fluorescent gel pens for the little Christmas lights and Copic white opaque paint for the surf. I die cut the white frame using the ODBD Recipe Card die but shortened it a bit before cutting the rectangle in the center. The turquoise/lime zigzag frame was from a leftover background I made w/ pigment inks and I used a zigzag border punch to create the colored border. A chevron embossing folder was used on the right side.
Congrats again, Marie-Alice! Enjoy your week! Closeups and the Copics I used are on my blog: The Write Stuff
