This card was about ready for the garbage! I first tried to color it using my Prisma colored pencils. For whatever reason it kept smearing the black ink and muddying up the colors. I had stamped it using the Palette Noir. Didn't look good.....threw it away! Stamped it again, and then used my Copics. This time the colors were more vibrant....almost too vibrant. I wasn't sure I liked my color choices....almost threw it away...again. Then I had this idea to use the crystal lacquer in the sepia color. It muted the bright colors and actually looked pretty good. So I took it a step further and glittered all the snow! Now mind you this was a process that took about 4 days.....Finally when all the lacquer and glitter were added, I kinda liked it. So I layered, sewed and added this pretty gold glittery ribbon....and finally it was done! WHEW! Why is it that some cards come together 1, 2, 3, and others take.....4 days?

Glad you stuck with it, it looks lovely!
Beautiful! Your coloring and sparkle looks so pretty! I love the sewing as well!
Good lord, a 4 day card??!! That is insane, frame it instead of sending with that kind of work, it's a masterpiece not a card.
I'm getting some new ink this weekend, I'll let you know if that one smears too.
This is so GORGEOUS. It is worth EVERY minute!!
Good for you for sticking with this one, it was worth it! Beautiful card! Deb

I just love what you did with this card! I often find that I have to tinker alot until I get a card I like, I think it is common with all of us. Very lovely and very worth all the effort.
