Today I'm sharing my "V" card for the 30 Days of Holidays over at Beccy's Place and it's another of my collaboration cards with my SIL. She colored this clip art image and used watercolor pencils after I had printed it in gray scale. She loves the coloring part but I haven't yet gotten her into the card making side, so she colors and I create the cards.
For this card, my "V"s are: Vintage, Victorian, Verdigris green, Vermillion red on the berries, and white Velvet on one layer of the snowflake. I cut the image with a Tonic Studios die, then did a white mat, inked with a vermillion marker on the edges. The sentiment was cut with an Avery Elle die and those edges were also inked.
The background is a scrap of dp from DCWV (!) and the snowflake was made with Cottage Cuts dies. I put the two layers together and added a touch of glitter and a rhinestone for sparkle. The final embellishment was the row of flat-back pearls. A Victorian card seemed to call for sparkle and gems and a fair amount of embellishment.
