Christmas Gossmere



Hi hi,

It has been a while since I've picked up my copics and coloured something.  For this card I jumped right in.......and it took me forever to colour.

 
The image is called Gossmere from Tiddly Inks.  I have adapted her for a Christmas card and coloured her in traditional Christmas colours.  Replaced her spooky sceptre with mistletoe (leaf punchies)
 
The papers are freebies from Simply Cards magazine by Hot Off The Press (Vintage Christmas range).  The sentiment reads "Merry Christmas" and along with the swirl stamps, are also freebies  from the same magazine.

 
Copic colours used:
Dress:  R20 R24 R27 R29 E19
Crown:  Y15 Y35 Y38
Skin:  E00 E01 E02 E11 E25 R20
Hair:  E13 E15 E18
Whites: C0 C1
Ground:  W1 W2 W3 W5


 
The mistletoe and mini poinsettias are made with punches.  Added some rhinestones for the mistletoe berries and also to add some bling.  Added some liquid pearl for the center of the poinsettias.
 
I've seen many cards out there using frantage and love the effect it gives.  I would have loved to use it for the snow on all the layers of the card but as I don't have any I've used white embossing powder instead.
 
All layers of the card were distressed with TH Vintage Photo and a pair of old scissors.
 
That's all from me today.
Thank you so much for visiting my little blog.
Hope you liked my card
Phi
