Peace
Happy Thursday!
We are starting a new challenge at Meljen's Designs. We want to see you Holiday cards! I've really been trying to push myself to make Christmas cards these last few weeks. It's been tough this year, but I'm working on it :)
Meljen's Designs has so many fabulous images, it's always so hard to decided which one I want to use. But this sweet little Woodland Christmas Tree was just calling to me when I browsed through my images.
I really wanted to do something fun for this card. So decided to pull out my watercolors and work on creating some sort of Northern Lights type sky. My first attempt went horribly wrong, but thankfully I learned from it and was able to create something that I really love! I should have added a few more darker spots in some areas, but overall it's exactly what I set out to create.
Of course, right in the middle of working on this card, our computer crashed and I wasn't able to print off my image until Matthew got home to fix the computer. Thank goodness he is a computer wiz! I love my geeky husband <3
So the image ended up being colored in a super rush so I could get my card finished in time to send it off to my team leader...so it isn't colored all that great. But it sparkles, so that makes it pretty and helps distract from the sub-par coloring :)
To finish it all off, I die cut a couple layers of vellum and a dark blue to mimic some rolling snow hills and layered them together around the tree. Then tied a simple little twine bow. The sentiment was an after thought...like always. I got really lucky that the stamping of it came out crisp since that whole panel was already mounted up on foam tape. But it worked!
I'd like to enter this card into the following challenges:
AAA Cards #29-Blue Christmas
Curtain Call-Clearly Christmas
