Good evening everyone. Well the temperatures were a little better this week. Started out cold, but by the end of the week it was bearable. And no snow, other than a dusting last night.
I have been working on this card all week. The start of the week I sat down to color. I actually did two of the same image. One painted with new watercolor paints, and this one using my new Spectrum Noir blendable pencils. I like the pencil one the best so decided to use it.
Today I finished my card. After struggling for awhile to get the embossing the way I wanted. The Cuttlebug folders don't quite fit a 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 card face. The bakers twine I made myself. And the Merry Christmas I only had in gold, so I colored it with a Sharpie marker in silver.
CHALLENGES
Jingle Belles - Bring on the new
Tomorrow is off to a badminton tournament with my son. It's just a fun day for the kids. Round robins, no keeping track of who wins, and no medals or trophy's. And they get pizza for lunch. I think that's why most of them are going.
happy swinging
dee ;o)
