I love this new image by Rick St. Dennis! It's called "Christmas Hat" and I got it by playing in their Progressive Challenge. I saw so many really gorgeous color combos from others who were also entering or giving us inspiration that it took me a few days to decide what I was going to use. Ultimately, I decided to stay with the traditional red and green but used shades of those colors which we don't normally associate with Christmas.
I used my ProMarkers to color the image and then cut it out using a die from Spellbinders. The sentiment was printed and cut by hand. I added the doodles and inked the edges of the card front to mimic the outside borders of the sketch. Finally, I did three little pearls in two corners, but reversed from the sketch.
One of the gals in my family will get this card but I can't say which because too many of them read my blog and peek at all the Christmas cards before the day arrives. Yes, I mean you and you know who you are!! Shame on you! :-D
