And here is my card for your inspiration:
Di's images are all so adorable and I just love this one for winter and/or Christmas. I decided to color with colored pencils this time. Partly because I wanted a more muted, vintage look and partly because my kiddos got these HUGE boxes of crayola colored pencils for Christmas and I wanted a chance to play with them. : ) By huge, I mean 64 pencils! I'd never seen that many before; they even have gold and silver! My blending needs a bit of work, but it did give the muted look I was going for. This card was a jackpot for my "bits and pieces stash": the piece of ribbon, one of the leaves, the center layer of the large flower and the black corner piece were all in there. The corner piece was actually a light gray, but I painted it with some black paint and then dry brushed it with some silver. In real life it looks really cool; a bit like wrought iron. Also, the green patterned panel was two scraps that I cut to the same width and pieced behind the circle. I love when I can use smaller pieces to create the look of a large piece. Thanks for stopping by, I hope you will get a chance to play along with us.
