Mary Christmas

One of these days my number will be pulled out the hat to win 5 delightful (or dark) Delicious Doodles digis <g>.  I know I am one of those folks that who never wins in raffles, the Lottery etc (no complaints, I have won in life in far more important ways), but I keep trying lol.

I have also decided which type of challenge I like the most and which the least.  I just love colour challenges, absolutely tops, fabulous fun, yep totally ACE.  My least favourite are sketch challenges - I find them so so hard.  So saying that, and being out of my comfort zone a bit to often this week with yellow cards I thought I would add to that and join in a sketch challenge (Passion For Promarkers) - yep glutton for punishment lol.

For this card I used the digi Mother Mary by Teri of Delicious Doodles.  There have been a bunch of cards recently which I see have use dies to make the card shape.  Usually I use my Black Cat to do this but recently I invested in the Spellbinders Grand Caliber so thought I would give it a try.  Rather pleased with the outcome <g>  DP was used for matting along with the white paper with the sentiment, the latter being embossed.  The digi was coloured with Promarkers and and also die cut.  I edge the die cut with Promarker Midnight Blue for contrast and attached to the card with foam tape.  In keep with the sketch I am following I added navy organza ribbon to the left side and a large snowflake to the right bottom.  The snowflake was cut with a die and attacked to the card with silicone so I could create the height, a pearl was added to the centre of the snowflake.
