LOTV Christmas Wreath and Fabulous News!

Image
By sparklingblackrose
Good afternoon everyone, hope you are well! Here I am with a Lili of the Valley image using my favourite method of making a wreath on the card :-) I coloured the image with Promarkers and Flexmarkers then used Deco Art Glitter as my snow. I then created the wreath and wound green and gold beads around the wreath on gold wire like little decorations and added ringing bells at the top of the wreath with a gingham bow from the Papermania Verde Capsule collection. I placed this on the nestie circle which I had distressed at the edge  to match with the distressed look of my papers. I used Kars, HOTP and My Minds Eye Christmas papers for my sketch and added a Merry Christmas greeting on a mat of MME music paper and placed on foam tape for dimension.

I have some fab news for you all too-I entered the Creative Extravacanza this summer at Every Can Counts-who challenged people to make fun, creative or wacky things with used drink cans. I was one of the winners with my drink can brooches! :-) Thank you to everyone who voted for me, I really appreciate it :-)

Lili's Little Fairies: Snow is Falling
Divas By Design: Festive
I love Promarkers: Cute
Love to Create: Lots of Layers
