"O" is for Ornament

      Another letter day at the 30 Days of Holidays at Beccy's Place and today is "O."  Beccy has some lovely ornament images and this is one that I have used each year since she released it.  I always get lovely comments on it, whether I've colored it myself or (as I did this year) have taken the shortcut of using the pre-colored image.

     I cut the Ornament with an Oval die, and used Onyx CS for the card base.  Aside from wanting an additional "O" for my card, the onyx makes the image pop from the background.  :-D   The ribbon is metallic, gold, wired ribbon from my stash and I have no idea what company made it.  I know I picked it up 2 years ago in the after-Christmas sales and I've made good use of it this year.  I used wide, gold twine for the hand-tied bow on the ornament.

The Warrior

      I simply adore the image for the Progressive Challenge at  LeAnn's World this month.  He's called "Callen" and I think he looks like a great warrior ready to defend his township.

     The coloring was done with my ProMarkers, and I cut the image with an oval die from QuicKutz.  I inked the edges of it before putting it on the water color background.  I tried for an ombre effect with the water colors but I don't think I achieved enough difference between the light and the dark.  Both of the ribbons came from Really Reasonable Ribbon, and the bow was tied using my bow maker.

I pulled blue/ yellow/ orange/ & brown from

the board #468 at CMH Color Dare.
