An Old Fashioned Christmas



Hello everyone - this is my 2nd post today - I don't do this very often but I finished this card last night and I was quite happy with the results so I just wanted to get it posted. I purchased this Stampavie stamp a while ago and I had the image stamped and sitting on my craft table for a couple of weeks now - I kept looking at it thinking there is a lot of coloring - my first impulse was to paper piece her clothing - (for me that is my way of cheating sometimes when i don't feel like coloring) however I thought to myself this would be a good challenge for me. I used my copics and just started to color and I actually surprised myself because I like how it turned out - it looked kind of old-fashioned to me so I found some old fashioned type paper to layer in behind. The sentiment was part of the dp. I added a poinsetta flower and a few small buttons and some TH pumice stone distress ink around the image edges and background and that pretty much does it! I hope your Monday is going just fabulous - I am aching all over - for some strange reason i decided I would try taking a "Hot Yoga" class on Saturday morning - there is a new studio in town - I really think it was a mistake - it was the hardest thing I have ever done and I am still exhausted not to mention my muscles are screaming at me!!! I am sure that I over did it - I know that it is a great stretching and toxic removing exercise but I am not sure my body can handle it. I may give it one more try and see what happens but I will have to wait until my body re-coops that is for sure!!! I am probably too old to be getting into something like that even though they say even an 80 year old can do it - I am not too sure about that!!! Well off to work for me in a few minutes - hope you enjoy your day and thank you so much for taking some time from your day to visit my blog!! Oh the copics I used for this card are E40, E43, E00, E11, R20, E30, E33, E37, E04, E07, E09 and G85 and BG75.

Bye for now
Your stamping friend Debbie

Oh this stamp is even cuter than I remembered! Your colouring is really great on this and I love how the paper goes with it. I really wish I could have gone to the yoga I had wanted to go but that was our weekend getaway. I am hoping to get to the crop on the 15th hopefully we can do an image exchange. Have missed seeing you.Hugs Tania
