Happy New Year Friends


When I think "Happy New Year", I think of my friends and family and how lucky I am to have them.  So I made this card with that in mind.  Michelle Perkett's image "Holly Fairy".  It's actually a Christmas stamp, but it works for so many other things too.  I colored her with my Prisma's and then added some Diamond Dust to edges of her dress and snow on the branches.  I stippled the background with Colorbok.  Then I used Creative Imaginations paper to follow the sketch at Sweet Stop.  That flower which matches everything perfectly is from Prima.  Hope you enjoy her.

Challenges Entered:
Michelle Perkett - Happy New Year
Sweet stop - Sketch
Stamp Something - Use a digi
Make it Crafty - Use cool or warm colors (I chose cool)
My Sheri Crafts - Winter(snow and New Years)
