Desire Fourie February 2014

My entry for the Desire Fourie (Doing Life) Challenge February 2014.  I used the image provided and coloured it in with promarkers. I decided on a contemporary finish this time so coloured her in pinks. I used a centura pearl a4 base folded in half. I cut her out with a SB circle die (sorry no idea what it is but i think its a gold) then inked through the die with pink distress ink and layered her onto black which i cut with my ek success circle scissor.  My background is a justrite stamp on black with versamark and white embossing powder. I cut it out with Tonic scalloped square layering dies and then cut the next size in pink to mat it.  I used a Martha Stewart snowflake punch on some deep pink creata mirror card and put another strip of the embossed background down the middle. Using my ek success scissor circle i cut out a stamped sentiment and pink mat. Then I used my Crafters Companion and Marianne snowflake dies to cut snowflakes in black white and pink and added black and pink gems to finish them. Even though I like traditional christmas cards I really love this look too so you should never be afraid to try something new. Plz let me know what you think. Love from Jacqui xx
