So when I showed our youngest son this card I said who do you think that is, and he answered, "Well that's me and Tori". Exactly right, it's totally them :) I think it will be a card for their family.
I started with the color palette from the papers. Pretty aren't they? Webster's Waiting for Santa/Sweet Season. And then I colored up this sweet sweet image from There She Goes latest release, called Wonderful Winter Wishes with a bazillion Copics trying to get the colors right.
I used some pretty black Braided Trim on the rows and stamped the border stamp along the bottom in White Craft ink.
Alrighty....we're into another week of 2011 and Winter! I hope to make the most of it. Blessings friends!
Stamps: There She Goes - Wonderful Winter Wishes; Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black, White Craft Ink; Paper: Rose Red, Baja Breeze, Basic Black, Flourishes Classic White, Webster's Petite Papers - Waiting for Santa/Sweet Season; Accessories: Big Shot, Labels 10 Nesties, Oval Nesties, Copic Markers, Black Braided Trim, Rhinestones, Dimensionals
What a cute card and story about your boys.
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of matching colours, do you have the Copic Book? I got a just before Christmas and I used it for the first time on Saturday. I was colouring and trying to match to DP and pulled out my book and it worked like a charm! You should try it. It's also exciting to then know which markers you have while you're shopping. A good investment for $6-$7.
