Today, I'm back to share another Christmas card I created recently. One of my favorite colors combinations for Christmas cards is pink, blue, and cream.
I pulled out an older stamp from Lili of the Valley for my card today. It's called Winter Fairy. Such a cute image. The sentiment is from the Christmas Circular Sentiments set. The patterned papers I chose are from October Afternoon's Good Cheer line. It's a really old line from them, but still one of my favorite lines of Christmas papers. The fabric wrapped around the card below the twine is some cheese cloth. I love the texture it adds.
I colored the image with copic markers (listed below). I colored the wings with a soft pink marker before adding some stardust stickles to make them sparkly. I also added some white fun flock to the bottom of her skirt.
Flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts and I added some stardust stickles to the petals of the flowers as well.
I'm playing along with a few challenges: Crafting Life's Pieces Sketch Challenge #61, LOTV's challenge which is Make it Festive, and Wild Orchid Craft's Pink and Cream challenge.
Hope everyone has a great weekend! Thanks so much for stopping by and for the comments you leave! It always makes me happy hearing from my blog readers. :)
