I’ve got another Christmas card to share with you, this one is made with a sweet Lili of the Valley image called Together At Christmas. I coloured with my Prisma pencils as usual and roughly/mostly followed the sketch at Sketch Saturday for the LO. The holly, berries and the flames have a little stickles on them, the stockings have little dots of Liquid Pearls and the star and bauble have a little bit of Glossy Accents.
The large backing paper is from Stamping Up, the smaller green piece is DCWV and both came from the scrap drawer; all the papers and white card were edged with TH Festive Berries ink. The red card is Bazzil and the snowflake was cut with DCWV glittered paper with a Sizzix die.
The sentiment is also from Stampin’ Up and I embossed it in Cherry Twinkle EP from Judikins. The main image was attached with foam tape to give a bit of dimension, and that’s a Martha Stewart punch that I edged the red Bazzil with. Here’s a close up of the colouring….

FANTASTIC Christmas card Brenda. The time spent colouring the image was well worth it.
