This card is for IC83.
I tried scanning it first, but the sparkle of the card just didn't come through. I managed to capture a little sparkle in the picture but now its kind of blurry. LOL
I used a couple items that were long ago retired. Luscious Lime ring a bell to anyone? LOL Also used was Hologram Highlights (Baroque Motifs).
The tree designs were first drawn in pencil; the grid was easy. For the circle tree I punched out three different sized circles in a scrap piece of card stock then used a pencil to draw them. Then markers were used to color in the elements (while I watched a movie). A sharpie marker was used to go back over the pencil marks and create the black lines. For the circles I used SU black marker so as not to lose the tiny detail.
In the center of the squares I used the Zig Painty marker to make silver dots, to coordinate with the other silver items on the card.
The only thing missing are the stars, but everytime I tried to incorporate them, it began to look too cluttered.

Your card is wonderful. I love how you captured the squares and swirls from the inspiration ornament. And yes, I do remember Luscious Lime from back in the day as well as Rocket Red!
