Hello all and Welcome to my New Followers! I coloured up this image a couple of weeks ago and thought it would be perfect to make a card for the 'Red, Green & White' Challenge at Lili of the Valley this week. The gorgeous stamp is called 'Oh Christmas Tree' by Lili of the Valley.
The lush foil paper is from Me and My Big Ideas. Ribbon and Charm are from Bunny Zoe's. Flower and Holly are from Wild Orchid Crafts. Ivy was done with X-Cut Punch. Sentiment was made on computer.
Colouring: Copics
Skin: E00, E02
Hair: E25
Reds: R42, R49
Greens: G82, G85
Browns: E31, E33, E35
Skars Glitter and White Flock
The gorgeous inserts are from Bearly Mine Designs.
Off to do some more magazine sorting. I am trying to photograph any articles that I want to keep, so I can throw them out. Done over half of them now. But honestly sometimes I feel they are replenishing in the night when I am asleep!!! LOL Sick of the sight of the blooming things! Can't wait until they are all gone then I am buying no more !!!! Of course I will end up buying them for the gorgeous free gifts!!! :-))
I have been feeling SO tired this week. My daughter came in the other day and when I said 'Hi' - she laughed and said that I am like Depressed Ross off Friends!!!! Mmmm.... Oh well hope it hasn't been coming across on my Blog or my Comments LOL.

Love this image and I am blown away by your beautiful colouring of these two little cuties! Great card and the lucky recipient will love it and (gulp!)not long now til Christmas, yikes!

Gorgeous card Sue the image is beautifully coloured and the papers and embellishment go lovely with it xx
Hi Sue,
Sorry to hear you haven't been feeling well lately; it doesn't show in this card though. Lovely and bright traditional Christmas card. Very cute stamp; is this LOTV's 2011 X-mas collection or is it from last year?
Take care - hope you'll feel better soon!

Your comments are always so friendly and positive! :)
It´s normal I think to be tired this time of year, I hear this everywhere. But I am different in this way. This is the best time of the year for me. I get very tired in february-mars instead. I think it´s the fresh air.
Your card is lovely. The stamp is so sweet. I love her clothes and little shoes! :)
We had some cold days here as well but yesterday and today we have blue sky and sunshine.
Hope you get a wonderful day and feel a bit more energized. If not just relax and take care of yourself and sleep if you have to! It´s healing... :) HUGS!
*) I mean the fresh air now makes me feel god, not depressed in feb-mars... I wrote that in a very strange way I think... ;)
Congratualtions on your win Sue!
One Fabulous card!
