SC134 - Wreathabella Christmas Card

I made this a few days ago, but I thought I would share her today. I have a few more colored images that I need to turn into cards. This one was inkspired by the tent topper cards that were made for SC134. I wanted something that would be quick and easy to duplicate and besides the coloring -- this card is perfect. I bought a few Bellas and they have been waiting for me to ink them up and since I was stamping off some images for someone from the Bellaholics Yahoo group, I decided to play with some images myself.

Bella is colored using prismacolor pencils and other colored pencils and gamsol. The bow and the berries were colored in using a red gelly roll pen. I also added polka dots to Bella's dress with this pen. Ribbon is from Hobby Lobby. I just fell in love with it when I saw it and had to have it. Paper is by The Paper Patch - Small Kelly Green Plaid. Sentiment is by Elzybells (Amuse distributes these). I was really excited that this sentiment fit so perfectly in the oval.

How are you doing on your Christmas cards this year? Hope you are more caught up than I am. Only a few more days until Christmas! I hope you are having a joyous holiday season!!!

HANNA PREVIEW: For the Soul

This set is totally cool! I have not seen anything like it! I think it is perfect for a sympathy card, a thinking of you, a little hand out at church, maybe even for cards at Easter (thinking ahead here) etc. It is so CUTE! Hanna looks so angelic and well, to be completely honest, reminds me of my little sister (not sure why). I used the sketch at Card Positioning Systems (#83) for the layout. I was going for a "touched by an angel" look on the main image (and I think I kind of created that.) I used vellum to overlay the image to give it that glossy fuzz (soft focus).
