Happy Friday my friends and welcome to the last day of November!
WOW can you believe tomorrow is December 1st?
This year is sure flying!
Anyways, I'm here to share with you the creation I made as Guest Designer for this week's challenge at Through The Craftroom Door! I can't tell you how thrilled I was to receive the email from Sandi asking me to be the guest designer at their challenge blog! The challenge this time around is ANYTHING GOES and the sponsor for the challenge is Jackson's Digital Expressions. Checkout this awesome Jackson digi Sandi sent me to create with. Being in need of a holiday card gift set for a friend, I thought this image would work perfectly! What do you think?
With the digi image being so detailed (and my eyes being older, lol), I printed out the image in a large size on an 8 1/2 x 11 sheet then after coloring, scanned and printed it to the size needed for my set of cards. This worked perfectly since I was making a set of six cards and wanted them to all be the same.
Papers: K&Co. Christmas dp, Paper Pizazz Music Score dp, Christmas red cs, White cs
Stamp: Hero Arts Sentiment
Accessories: Prismacolor markers, Zig markers, Cheery Lynn Designs B184 Holly Corner die, Joann's red satin ribbon, various colors of Stickles
Here's a close-up so you can see the
sparkle on all the tree decorations. This was such a fun image to color
and I'm sure I will use it again and again!

ReplyDeleteBeautiful card. I like the way you used the music piece as the strip under the ribbon. Nice touch. Very clever way to deal with making a set. I would probably do it the hard way (not anymore).
