Hope your all enjoying the weekend. I have had a long lay in, deserved after cooking dinner for friends last night with a few accompanying G&T's. House is now back to normal and I thought I would pop this Christmas card on that I made yesterday using James the bear from Lili of the Valley. I do love these stamps and am looking forward to seeing the new releases at the NEC on Friday, woo hoo!
The papers I have used are from Bearly Mine Designs. I have the CD Volume I which has some Xmas papers on and I love the added bonus of the little ticket sentiments, which I have also used on this card. Now right now Bearly Mine are having a Design Team call open until November 2nd, so hop on over, there are some free papers for you to use.
I have coloured James using copic markers and used prisma pencils for the shading. The little present I have paper pieced using the Bearly Mine paper and red bazill cardstock.
Materials Used:-
Image from Lili of the Valley
Papers and ticket sentiment from Bearly Mine Designs Vol I
Spellbinders Nesties
Marianne Design Poinsetta and Swirls Die
Rose from Wild Orchid Crafts
Black Soot Distress Inks
Martha Stewart Border Punch
Star Dust Stickles
Ric Rac, Pearls
