Give me a C! That's what we want this week at Mo's Digital Pencil--"C is for...." projects. As you can see I've used a group of Carolers on my card. I started out with a whole different layout and it just wouldn't work. I went to a simpler one and then thought it was too plain, but as I worked I kept finding ways to dress it up and this is where I ended up. I fancied up the faux quilt squares with some white embossing powder for a frosty look. It's really hard to see the detail on the black in the photo but I embossed with the Nestie 22 die and then traced the inner and outer edges of the die and cut it out. I like the frame look and the black seems to make the other colors pop. For the image I colored with Copics and then masked the image and used Distress inks to create the gray background. I wanted the snow fall to really stand out. The image itself has a few flakes drawn in but I wanted it to be heavier since I'd made the sky look so dark and dreary. I used a big dotty wood stamp with some Versamark and more EP to create heavier flurries and added some glitter for the ground. Did you spot that teeny tiny little tag I die cut and stamped under the bow? It's just peeping out. And did you catch the flocking on her muff? I mean it has to be fluffy, right? ☺ I really enjoyed making this card. It seems backing off the DT load has freed up my mojo a bit. I'm even working on a mini album! GASP! Yep, you heard me right. It's been forever since I've done a mini. Really missed making them too. I'll be showing it next weekend so be on the look out.
