Broken
Box Stock has a challenge where you need to use the colours Red White &
Blue and one of their digis. They are very generous with the amount of images
they have for free and I thought it would be a great opportunity to make
another Christmas card.
I coloured this lovely image called
Eskimo Kiss with Promarkers & Flexmarkers keeping to shades of blue and of
course adding red wellies and hearts.
I cut the image using a Nestabilities
die and as I had used the largest size I drew around the die onto a scrap of
blue marbled paper to create a mat for it.
The paper is a magazine freebie from
Docrafts/Papermania and the colours are perfect for this challenge. The ribbon
has been recycled from a new top I wore to work today for the 1st
time. I cannot stand the ribbon loops so the always get cut off but don’t
usually get used very often so that’s a good one for me J
The sentiment is from my stash mounted
onto the blue paper again and I added some stickles glue to the snowflakes as I
love a bit of twinkle on Christmas cards.
