December Will Be Magic Again!

This is a card that I started ages ago and finished last week along with the 'Christmas Snooze' Card that I posted. Terrible trouble trying to photograph this one. It's the best of a Very Large Batch!!

This adorable image is from LOTV and is called 'Oh Christmas Tree' The gorgeous paper is Basic Grey - 'Jovial'. The Rose and Holly are from Wild Orchid Crafts. Black ribbon and bow are from stash.

I've cut a strip of black card with wavy scissors and edged it with Silver Glitter Pen. Christmas Tree Charm and pearls are from Bunny Zoes. The snow and fur trims are really sparkly in real life. The colouring is the same as on my 'Trimming the Tree' Card that I did in September. Just in case you thought you'd already seen this card LOL.

Colouring: Copics

R24, R29, G82, G85, E25, E53 S

Ultra Fine Glitter and Flock

The Sentiment was made on computer and is title of a Kate Bush song - 'December Will Be Magic Again'. Inside I've put some of the lyrics to the song. The paper inside is MAMBI.

I forgot to photograph the inside of the card and so just got my camera out. It has developed a black spot!! it comes out as a shadow in photos as you can see on top right of insert. At first thought cleaning lens would help. Used proper cleaning solution but didn't get rid of it. Now after Googling think it is problem with something inside. Apparently you can get dust inside or else problems with sensor, pixels etc. I'm not messing with it as I have Insurance so will have to phone them up tomorrow. 

Arghhh could do without this right now. Still got pain with my back and tingling in my legs. Have started to get around a bit today but still need to keep lying flat inbetween. 

But did some practice with my Ink Dusters yesterday!! Just sploshing colours all over card - what fun. I am determined to do more of that and also try heat embossing in New Year. I still have so many things to learn :-))
