Guest Designer spot for Skdigi's

Good Morning everyone, I hope you are having a great Monday

Today I am sharing a card I made for...

 

 

I am honored and thrilled that Sonia had asked me to be a Guest Designer

I absolutely love her quirky, simple and easy to color images

As a former Design Team member for Sonia, I have many images to play and create with

But, I am especially excited to be using this NEW image from her Lollipop Reindeer collection

 

 

I started with a 5-1/2" square base for my card

Next I layered it with designer pattern paper from a 6" x 6" pad by Recollections - City Sidewalks

Green pattern cut 5" x 5"

Red w/ white snowflake pattern cut 5-1/2" x 1-1/4"

Diamond pattern cut 4-1/4" x 2"

 

I used Lollipop Reindeer -Stars from SKdigi's for my image and cut the paper to 3" x 2-3/4"

 

I used the following Copic markers to color the image:

E33, E35, E50, R11, R27, R59, Y06, Y17

 

To finish the card I did a little bit of paper piecing on the reindeer head/body, nose and bow

A Red ribbon/bow with sentiment on a metal tag, attached with a safety pin

And for the final touch...green sequins with liquid pearls in the corner and on the tag

 

I hope you enjoyed my card and your visit to my blog today

Be inspired to create something wonderful
