Was a bit concerned about the colour scheme I chose for this card - I wanted to do another 'non traditional' colour and sorting through the stack of papers - (did I really buy all those paper pads????) - I picked out pastel pinks, blues, pale greens but then found this pad from My Mind's Eye full of brown, cream and blue tones.
So decided to give it a go. What do you think?
The image is from Mo Manning. Isn't the expression on the little angel's face just brilliant?!I coloured it with promarkers and pastel chalks (although you can't see the pastel blue background behind the little angel very well) and added some glamour dust onto the wings.
Papers were all layered and distressed.
Coloured the flourish with a promarker to tone in and added a couple of brown pearls to the bottom left corner.
The flowers are from Wild Orchid and my local haberdashery shop!
Oh and look what I got for Christmas - a new nestie set of tags!!! (Well they were a Christmas present to me from me......and I actually bought two sets but shhhhhhhhhh.......lol)

Hello Viv. Well I love this colour combination, so pretty and very effective. Beautiful image too. Happy crafting.
Love Sandra xxx
I think those colors and patterns are perfect for this. That light blue and brown is/was a popular combination for winter so I think you pulled it off perfectly.
Thanks for going "Christmas" with us at For Fun Challenges. Hope to see you next Wednesday for our new challenge.
The subtle colour combination and image work beautifully together.
I think it's lovely, I really like unusual colours at Christmas. Such a sweet little stamp too. Thanks so much for my lovely birthday card and notepad (that sure made me smile) they arrived today. Hugs Cindy x
