Merry Kissmas
I know I'm not supposed to go on about a card I made but...I LOVE this card! I made it for Karen and Dana this Christmas and I was so excited for them to get it. The main reason was the previous Christmas I was equally excited about my card for them - so much so, that I mailed it off to them unfinished. Yes, you read that correctly.....unfinished! I forgot to colour the PI girl and I forgot the glitter - d'oh! I was so excited that I'd paper pieced (for the first time) that I got all the layers and the ribbon glued on and mailed it off. Anyhoo, back to this year's card which I checked and double checked and triple checked that everything was done before I sealed the envelope.
I used MFT Merry Kissmas PI girl, paper pieced her coat and hat and used a ghost snowflake with a SU felt snowflake on top. Some TE tiny twinkles on the snowman, some glitter on her pompoms, some chunky glitter along the snowbank and she was ready to go. I have to smile when I look at this card because I think I only owned 5 copics and was still learning how to shade. Well, I'm still learning.

LOL!!! OMG, everyone I am sure has done that but sending it to those two awesome stampers, that is funny!! And there isn't anything wrong with lovin' your cards, I comment on it when I love mine, makes you an honest stamper! And besides, I love it too! Xmas cards though...argh! I am not sure if I will ever make another with our horrid long winter!
LOVE this Leslie! The colors, the papers, your coloring, and that ghost snowflake all add up to pure sweetness!
I would LOVE to say that I LOVE my Christmas card from this past Christmas, although it wasn't quite as interactive as the previous one, which I got to finish once it arrived!! LOL!!!
You know I love this card because it's on the wall of fame (as you've seen!) And I remember how excited you were the previous year with the paper piecing- you know that's one of my favourite things!!
