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
White, Gold and pink card
Alcohol Pens
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.
 
Last month I was lucky enough to win the ABCChristmas September Challenge with one of my little Santa's in Training Cards and so next week I plan to do lots of cards using my Bugaloo images which were the first prize
 watch out for those
