We're getting so close to the end of the Month of Holiday Cards at
Beccy's Place and I can now say for sure that I've done each day with an alphabet letter as the theme and there should be only two additional days of as-yet-unknown themes. I'm beginning to think that I'll be able to complete cards for each of the 30 days. :-D Considering that I missed last year altogether, that's pretty exciting. Even more exciting is the fact that with the exception of the very first day, I've used images from Beccy's Place for every card!
Today is the letter "Y" and it's an easier choice than yesterday's "X" but still not as easy as some of the other letters. I went with
Yuletide. I started out looking for a
Yule Log but fell in love with this image from Beccy's, bought it, and did a
Yuletide Blessings sentiment instead.
The image is colored with ProMarkers, and I added tiny dots of white gel ink to the berries as light reflection. I used an Unbranded die to cut the image. There was a scrap of that snowflake plaid paper left on the desk after using it for another project a day or two before but it had a couple of small tears in it. I dug through my dies and found the one from Memory Box which cut out the 2 tears perfectly! It also added some really great texture to the card.
I decided that the only things I'd add as embellishment was one, tiny bow so I took a white satin bow I had already sewn together and 'dyed' it with one of my green ProMarkers.
