I'm still in Christmas card mode! This in one of my favorite Christmas sets called "Winter Post". The image of the skaters is pretty, but it also has a variety of other images as well. I am going through some of last years card to use as inspiration for the upcoming 'Christmas in July' class. I am certainly not going to be inspired by my surroundings, its supposed to get to 94 degrees today. I made this card for a Christmas card swap I was in last year. I had to make 25 of them. That was a lot of coloring and embossing but I was happy with the results. I cut a piece of very vanilla cardstock into a tag and stamped the skaters image on it. Next I used blender pens to softly color the image. I randomly embossed snowflakes snowflakes onto the real red card base. I wanted it to have a vintage feel, so I sponged ink on all the pieces, and tore the base layers and added a piece of Newsprint DSP for an added layer. It doesn't show up in the picture but there is a very small amount of dazzling diamonds glitter on the ice, and a bit on the woman's hat and gloves. Hope you like it : )
