Happy New Year Everyone!! Hope you all had a safe celebration - our was a very quite one at home. At least this year we stayed up until Midnight !!!
I so enjoyed making Christmas cards and found myself in quite a groove with them, so decided to make some for 2013!! As I learned (the hard way) it's never too soon to start!!
This card is for an SCS Challenge as well as a few online Blog challenges. The SCS January Chirstmas Card Challenge link is here: { January Christmas Card Challenge }
- all the Blog challenge details are on { My New Blog }. I can't believe my Blog is almost One month old!!
To make these cards I stamped the image multiple times, colored them all using Copic markers, adorned them with glitter and liquid pearls. I stamped the image then highlighted over the letters and flourish with a Copic marker to warm the color up a bit. Then I made the card base and layers, gold-leafed the panels and assembled. I find the most joy in doing the detail work, so coloring and cutting are pure bliss for me LOL!! Sooooo, even though these went fast, they were still fun!!
Here's what I used:
-SU! Bells and Boughs
-Memento Black Ink
-White Cardstock
-Copic Markers: R00, R05, R29 / Y23, Y26 & Y29 / YG11, YG46, YG61 & YG63 / and W2 & W4 for shading
-Also used Dazzling Diamonds Glitter and Gold/Red Liquid Pearls
Thanks for stopping by!!
Hugs and Blessings,
Audrey

Oh, you rat you! Starting 2013 cards early and so many. That bell is one of my favorite images. You've colored it perfectly and LOVE the CAS style, layout and gold leaf pen! Hugs Audrey!
