I haven't participate in any of the Christmas challenges before and thought I would give it a go in the CCC15 Challenge with this card.
This sweet image is from Lacy Sunshine Stamps calls "Melanie Boo's - The Christmas Star." I colored her with Copic. I felt the card could use some glitters. OK, LOTS of glitters. So I brushed Wink of Stella on her hair/star (YELLOW) and the RED on the berries, her dress, shoes and earrings. More glittering and textured using white Stickles for the falling snow, ground and die snowflakes.
The candy cane stripes base layer I created using Taylored Expressions' Diagonal Stripes embossing folder. Then carefully brushed the red Wink of Stella on the thinner stripes. The frame around the image was created by placing two different size rectangle die frame, one inside the other. The Season's Greetings is from the Penny Black's Brush Pine-Christmas cling stamp set.

Oh, Christina, this is gorgeous, and your coloring is fabulous! I just love how you've used the embossing folder and made it look like a candy cane background! Wow! And I love the snowflakes and your sweet sentiment. The "snow" is fabulous! Beautifully done, as always, sweet friend! Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving! Hugs!
