I pulled out my container that holds all my Christmas stamps this week, so I must be thinking about getting into the swing of this card making season. The beauty of digital images is that they don't take up so much space or weigh much at all!
I used my By Lori Designs Lollipop Christmas Tree for my card. It is such a cute tree that I just had to use cute, non-traditional paper for it! My winter pattern paper is an older line, Winter Joy by Bo Bunny, and this shaped paper is from their Noteworthy pad. I combined it with Picket Fence from Lily Bee because the greens are a perfect match and I do love it when that happens.
I do like the fine sparkle that Fireworks glimmer spray has, so I used my aqua painter and New Sprout Fireworks to paint over my copic marker coloured tree. Since my digi image is laser printed, the ink is well cooked into the paper and colouring with copic markers provides a waterproof surface to aqua paint on! To adda little more whimsical shine, I spritzed my image using Lulu Lavender Fireworks. I tried to rub off some of the shimmer once it was dry and I'm thrilled to report that there is no simmer shedding. To top my tree, I used more shine with Yellow Stickles, another of my favourite go to's for sparkle.
copics used today;
