Hi everyone, welcome to my blog!


Sharing today a tutorial for a card using First Christmas image by LeighSBDesigns
Firstly I printed out First Christmas image and 2 of the Fall Roses image (this image can be used for all seasons)
I cut out the baby from the First Christmas image
I coloured the image using Promarker, Ruby Red, Gold, Satin, Dusty Pink, Forrest Green.  I also used a white gel pen, quickie glue pen and Tim Holtz Clear Rock Candy Glitter
Using the Fall Roses image I die cut the circle 2.5 inch in diameter 
I coloured the image with propmakers, Artic Blue, Colbalt Blue, Meadow Green, Apple 
With the second image I cut out the roses and leaves
I attached the image I cut out to the first image

Attaching baby image through the circle of the card, 4.5 inch x 4 inch then adhered to the base card which I cut slightly larger.

I coloured the Snowflakes with Artic Blue and Colbalt Blue and added Stickles. To the edges of the sentiment I coloured with Distress Oxide, Broken China
