Shh... It's a secret!

I'm being a bit naughty in posting this card, but honestly I can't help myself it's almost Christmas and I've been dying to post this for about 3 weeks! This card was made for the Kit and Clowder card exchange that I took part in this year. I hadn't touched my copics in quite some time when I started on this image so I was thrilled with how it turned out! I was in a bit of a rush trying to get this card done (not that it made it go any faster... ) and ended staying up until something like 3am in the morning finishing it.

Isn't it so pretty! :) I tried so hard to make it just a red and white card but I ended up adding the green onto the holly flourish.

And close up!
I love how that gold spec ended up on her eye, the big snowflake is covering a spot where my heat gun burnt the paper. Oops! 

Embellishments!

I used several items on this card for the first time that have just been sitting in my stash doing nothing but collecting dust. The Post Card stamp is from a Close to my Heart set that I "just had to have" several years ago. The round flourish is actually a buckle die by Memory Box, again something purchased several years ago at a show. The deer die cut and the large snowflake were purchased last year.

Products used on this card: Simply Sassy stamp 'Seasons Greetings', Ranger - liquid pearls, Stampendous - shabby white embossing enamel, Memory Box - Ringed Buckle, Impression Obsession - Deer Trio, Martha Stewart - boarder punch, Spellbinders - Label (#???) Dies, Wild Rose Studio - Holly Flourish die, Close to my heart - Stamp(?), red Glitter paper, red rhinestones, Tim Holtz - Mowed Lawn, and Copics.
(^I'll try and fill in some of the missing names tomorrow)

So that's about it for now, I'm off to finish a few more last minute cards!

One late and one early Birthday Card!

So I Promised another card by Sunday so hear I am with a very late and birthday card! In fact I don't know if I have ever been on time with a birthday card, I'm trying to get better with that but it's just not one of those things that I'm good at. 

This card was made for a friend who loves Snow White! She even wanted to make her wedding dress in Snow White theme but her grandmother who was going to help her is just too old to do all that close up and fine detail work. I'm sure I'll get this card to her eventually but between both of our busy schedules and her traveling it might not be until late summer.

And second  I have a Birthday card for my Best friends Husband. I feel kinda bad for always sending her things and not a one for him. So I decided that this time when I sent her a package that I would include a birthday card for him. Funny guy his birthday is on the 4th of July and so when he was a kid he thought that all of those fireworks were for him :)

This second card was kinda hard to make but I think that I like the overall effect! Enjoy The rest of your Sunday!
