I coloured her with SU Chalks and a Blender Pen - no surprises there are there! LOL! The card stock layers have been embossed with the Snowflake folder and I have inked it before embossing to get this effect - I love the way it looks and have decided the love the lighter colours using this technique, it gives a more of a washed technique.
I have used Tim Holtz Distressing Inks and decided to use brown as well, Walnut Stain I think. The fibre added a great touch but was a tricky little thing to get to stick - several layers of skin later, I am happy with the result, Snowflakes and gems are the finishing touches to this wintry wonderland.
Below I am using one of Priscilla's newest images - her Angel - my photos just do not so this card any justice, it is full or sparkle and bling and takes this angel to another dimension!
Hopefully you can see some of the bling and shimmer here - well, juts s hint of it anyway!

Linda you ability to use fibers and textures is amazing to me. I really love the wispy touch of fiber on the Wintry Boy card. The flower rhinestones on the angel card are magnificent. These are both exceptional and filled with so much to delight the eye. Great job with the sketch and both images this week BFF.

your cards are looking beautiful linda.
ReplyDeletegreetings karin
OK....Both of these cards are just the BOMB!!!!!!!!!! I love, love, love, the blues you have used in each of them. However, I, like you, am in love with that first image. I think this is one I will have to go over and get myself. I would love to know what you have used on the embossed panel that is giving it a shimmery look...just so pleasing to the eye.
ReplyDeleteHi Linda!
ReplyDeleteYou have made two gorgeous wintercards. That must be kind of wierd for you, making wintercards while you are heading for summer down there.
I have not seen Priscillas angel before - she is adorable!
