Happiness be yours

Today is the 13th of December, Lucia Day.

Me and my fiancee have been together for 9 years today,

so he actually surpriced me with roses and a gift (Gilmore Girls on DVD).

Its not often he does stuff like this, so it was very nice. :)

So today I ditched the school work I really should have been doing,

and made this wall hangable card for my sister.

The images are a bit poor, put it could have been worse I think.

At least the colors are all right. ;)

I used papers from Maja Design,

a heart shaped doily, and I inked the edges of the papers

with Distress Ink, Walnut Stain. 

I colored Tilda with Distress Ink. Her clothes are a mixture

of Victorian Velvet and Walnut Stain.

For skin I use Tattered Rose, Vintage Photo and Aged Mahonagny,

and for the rest I used Pumice Stone and Black Soot.

I shaded with Wethered Wood and Black Soot.

The fur edges on her clothes are lined with Martha Stewart Flocking.

The Wings I got at Panduro. I originally was not planning this,

but I strumpled across them as I was searching for fitting

embellishments, and I just had to use them.

Maybe a bit much, but whatever. ;)

The flowers I used are from Wild Orchid Crafts.

I made some of the flowers smaller by removing a layer of them,

and I put some Snow Wrighter on them.

I love the sparkely snowflake, I dont know if you can tell,

but its made entirely out of rhinestones. It is from Ribbon Girl. 

The Lace and mesh is also from Ribbon Girl. 

I used Martha Stewart Snowflakes that I punched out,

and a Doohickey tag, some twine, pins and seem binding ribbon from WOC, 

and a big heart charm from Ribbon Girl. 

The sentiment is from Magnolia, and I added some little pearls.

I also used Snow Wrighter on the corners in the card,

and I used Chalkboard Glimmer Mist all over. You can rell if you look for it. ;)
