Once again I used a brown lunch bag for the base of my card...I really like the idea of making cards with these, not only are you sending a card but you put a small gift of photos, stamped images or even a letter with your card in the back pouch...duel purpose.

My card features Tilda With Vintage Roses (which is currently out of stock and on re-order).  I used Memento Tuxedo Black ink to stamp her on Cryogen White (available from Paper Temptress), this is one of my favorite card stocks for coloring images.  This paper has a beautiful shimmer to it that shows through your coloring mediums.  Hope you can see the shimmer the photo, it really adds a beautiful touch to your images and cards.

At the last minute I added a strip of White Satin Ribbon to the side of the card by the pearls, it really adds a nice touch to the card.  The diamonds are cut with my Spellbinders Nestabilities Dies then outlined with Crystal stickles.

The tag on the inside of the card is from a sheet that I picked up at our local scrapbook store.....the verse is from The Night Before Christmas!  The diamond is cut using my Spellbinders Nestabilities Die.  I haven't had chance to add a sentiment to the inside of the card, I am thinking I may just write it in myself at Christmas time, giving it a more personal touch.

The roses are from Wild Orchid Crafts with petals edged with Crystal Stickles.  They really sparkle nicely on the card.  You can never have too much sparkle.  The roses I used are 25mm, 20mm and 10mm.  I used MS Pine Branch punch for the greenery behind the roses.

I colored my image with Copics as follows:

     Skin:  E000, E00, E01, R20

     Hair:  E25, E35, E50

     Dress:  R35, R37, R39, R59, C00, C1, C3, C5

     Tilda's Tights:  RV000, RV10, C1

     Roses:  R81, R83, R85, G85, G94

.......now it's time to hop on over to see what the very talented Danielle has to show you.  I am sure it will be fabulous.
