snowy snowy night

Saturday blessing everyone, just a quick pop, I am behind because I have had so much fun with my Cameo this week, every time I use it, it shows me more potential than I ever imagined.  Okay, so Liberty (my Cameo) and I did this card ALL by ourselves.  First I did the wreath with the "Center of Rotation" tool and a picture font, printed it out and took the image to my Copics, I should hide them from myself, lol, cause when I start I just cannot put them down, after I added my color I took some Tim Holtz "Antique Linen" to the area and did some additional distressing to the edges.  Then with my eyedropper tool and my wreath on the Silhouette mat, I selected one of the blues to make my background paper, filled my block and printed it out and then took a mop brush and some gesso and did my snow splats on the card stock, scanned it in, the branch like element is a piece of dark red florist wire that I hammered out and scanned in and then created an element using Liberty and placed it on my cardstock and it was then a finished background piece and I printed that out.  The little snow bird is one of my line drawings and considering how small it is, the time spent coloring it is kinda scary, lol.  I then drew out the tag, scanned it in, had Liberty cut it and more distressing with "Antique Linen, wrote "Merry Christmas" with a pen and nib and some wonderful red oxide ink I found yesterday when playing with my friend Christy at "Hobby Lobby" added some dimentional snow and tied a bow with some jute.  The little star was also hand drawn and colored with Copics. Whew and that about does it for today, hugs
