Christmas for the girls

Good Afternoon folks,
 Here we are again and today's Second project is a  nice and simple card , No hard hats required for this one just a selection of pro markers and Spectrum Noirs to colour in our darling little Ballerina. This is not her first outing to the blog you will find she also guested in 'A Christmas Kiss' a previous blog post I did for J and C Creations. She is one of my favourite stamps from Slapstick Stamps and an absolute joy to work with. The rubber stamp measures 13cm x 11.5cm so be prepared to make a bigger card than the norm this one is on an 8" square base card!!

To make this card you will need

8" white card blank

A Christmas Kiss Stamp

White, Gold and pink card

Alcohol Pens

Tim Holts 'Worn lipstick' pink Distressing ink pad

Martha Stewart hearts edging punch

lace

silver mesh

silk flowers

Large Red Ribbon

Sentiment

3 dew drops

 

First you need to stamp out your image you can use memento or stazon but sometimes I like to stamp it in black versamark and then emboss over the top of the image with a clear fine embossing powder to seal the lines. if you don't do this with the embossing powder the versamark will bleed into your Alcohol pens and spoil your finished result. To colour this young lady I used a selection of Promarkers and Spectrum Noirs

Face and flesh - Promarkers Almond , satin, dusky pink and blush

Cheeks - Spectrum Noirs PP1

Hair - Cocoa, GB5

Dress- PP1,PL1, PL2, PP3

Bauble and leavesCG1 CG2 DG2 DG3

Shoes and berries DR3

 

When she is coloured cut her out in a large Circle and dust round the edge with aTim Holts 'Worn Lipstick' ink pad and then mount onto some light pink card and put lace under the circle , when that's done mount onto a square of gold card.

  Take some cerise pink card and edge with your Martha Stewart punch to go on the card blank as your base card, then using your Martha Stewart punch again make some corners  in white. Add these and some silver mesh in opposite corners to balance your card out. stick onto the pink card and then mount circle onto that.

 Now all you have left are the 4 corners to decorate. Put a large bow in one, the sentiment and flowers in the others and not forgetting the 3 dewdrops in the last corner.
