Michelle Perkett and her new DT are having a challenge this week called "Anything Goes" . I decided to get another card done for my Christmas card collection. I used this beautiful image by Michelle Perkett called "Holly Fairy". I think she is just gorgeous! You can see Michelle's beautiful designs and inspiration for your crafting
here. Her new design team has done a wonderful job giving us some awesome samples of their work with Michelle's images. You will be amazed! Check it out.
Here's my card entry.
|
I colored Holly Fairy with Photoshop Elements. Added glitter to her wings and her white fur and the snow on the branches. The green paper is Wild Wasabi from Stampin Up. The white was embossed with the cuttlebug. The punches used are from MS for the leaves in the upper right corner and for the little border near the bottom. I used little red gems from my stash on the border and a square gem in the middle of the red flower from S.U. The snowflake in the upper right is from my stash as is the red flower, which I added glitter to also. The 1/8 inch ribbon is Offray from Michaels. |
Here is a close up of the beautiful Fairy. The starbursts in the glitter were added with Photoshop so you could see just how blingy it is.

Thanks for looking! I'm glad to be building my Holiday card assortment this early in the year. Usually I'm scrambling in November and December to get them all done! Thanks to Michelle and the DT for this challenge to light a fire and inspire me to get crackin' on these. I hope you like her! |
Stunning card, Kathy!
