Phew, what a week! I’m all sorted for Christmas now though after the day I had battling the traffic, road works, crowds and ragey shoppers if I’ve forgotten anything then too darn bad. All this ridiculous hoopla for one day …. I just don’t get it. I saw two old biddies about to bash each other over a packet of stuffing. Seriously, no jokes. I gave them a wide berth, I can tell you haha.
When I coloured the image for this card I coloured it twice (I’m all about making as many cards as I can at Christmas lol) so although the colours are the same I think using the dark red Nordic paper changed the image up a fair bit from the other card. I also used white and gold paper flowers instead of the red flowers, the red paper sets them off beautifully.
I used one of my new digital Christmas Sentiments (which comes in black, red, gold and silver) and cut it into a banner.


Merry Wishes was coloured with copic markers:
Skin: E04, 11, 00, 000, R20
Hair: E27
Fur and skirt: W3, 1,0, 00
Red: R39, 37, 35, 32
Green: BG99, G28, 24, 21
Gold: Y28, YR23, Y13
I used watercolour paper and glitter paper to make the poinsettias (using my Lily Flower die set) and I used tiny gold jingle bells for the centres. I used a little Christmas Light button that I bought here in the UK, Whimsy Stamps has very similar buttons here

I absolutely slathered this card in glittery bling because …. XMAS!!
