I am just mad about most of the 'sprite' images drawn by Mitzi at AuroraWings and this Amaryllis Sprite is no exception. I've had her for a while and this is the first chance I've had to use her for a Christmas card. I remember my mom had amaryllis bulbs planted in her garden and each year at Christmas time, they gave a huge pop of color to an otherwise hibernating plant bed. I guess when I see amaryllis, they will always mean Christmas to me.
I colored with ProMarkers and added highlights with gel ink before cutting the image with a Memory Box die. The sentiment came from QKR Stampede and it's cut with another die from that same Memory Box set. I inked the edges of both die cuts with ProMarkers.
The red background paper is from my Christmas stash and I have no idea who made it. I found that scrap of sheet music, tore the edges a bit more, and added it to the background. The bow was tied using burlap ribbon.
