Do you all have plans for the New Year? My hubby and I will be celebrating at home, as my hubby has been busy working with no end in sight. Which is ok with me because I have been studying studying and even more studying this past week. I take my next CPA exam on Jan. 3rd....eeek! Hoping to pass this one! Yesterday I took a couple hours away from my book and decided to color for a bit.
This is my entry for the
Color Me Creative - Holiday Color Challenge which was to use
Gold, White & Cream! I had so much fun making this card.....and can you believe I used NO dp?! I was in awe myself! I was searching high and low for the perfect gold/cream/white dp and couldn't find what I wanted so I decided to make my own! The glittlery cream cardstock is from DCWV, and then I found some metallic gold cardstock and finally I made my own dp! My dp was made using Brilliance Gold Ink, a Sizzix embossing folder and some white cardstock. And I love how it turned out! My dp was decorated using my SB Edgeabilities (Classic Ric Rac and Classic Scallops) and finished off with some May Arts Lacey Ribbon. Sentiment is from PTI Mega Mixed Messages and was embossed using TH Gold Embossing powder.
This cutie is
Happy Days by Elisabeth Bell for SCACD and she is a part of the
Odds & Ends Sampler. I love this collection to pieces! Miss. Happy Days was colored with Copics and accented with my pastel pencils. Her shoes, sweater cuffs, hair ties, and shirt got a gorgeous coat of
Diamond Stickles. Her belt buckle was accented using my
Gold Spica Pen.
Copic Colors Used: skirt/shirt/shoes/belt: YR20, YR24, Y15, Y26, Y28,
Jacket: Y21, Y26, Y32,
Hair: E33, E53, E57, E59,
skin: E000, E00, E11, R11, R20.
Wild Orchid Crafts arrangement was made using a
35mm Trellis Rose,
25mm Wild Rose,
15mm Roses,
10mm Rose,
8mm Semi-opened Roses,
Gold Glitter Holly Berries,
Gypsophilas,
Gold Heart Pin, and
Decorative Crown pin. Flowers were glittered with
Diamond Stickles because I love the gold sparkle that this leaves. And finally the arrangements was finished with some Zva Creative Gold Rhinestone Swirls.
And one more angled view so you can see all the shimmer, glitter, sparkle, and dimension! I hope you have enjoyed my creation!
Wishing you and your family
a Very Happy New Years!
