It feels so good to be back coloring up Conie Fong digis! I was on a break for nearly 2 months and I really missed them. :-D The one I used today is called "Emily with Penguin" and she comes in 2 different versions, this one and one with braided hair. The set also has Christmas sentiments but, as you can see, she works well as a 'non-Christmas' winter image.
She's been colored with ProMarkers, then cut with a stitched die from Die-namics. I framed the image by cutting a diagonal scrap with the same stitched die and layering the image into it. The "icicles" above the image were made by using a scrap bit of CS from which I had cut a large sentiment using a Memory Box die. That was for another project but as I was about to toss out the leftover bits, I saw icicles and held onto the scrap. A few days later, and it was perfect for this card.
I printed the birthday sentiment, then cut it with an Avery Elle die. The bow was hand-tied using some very old crinkle ribbon and I added a small, metal brad.
