Stripes and buttons on launch day


Today is launch day for the last of the new Christmas images from Lili of the Valley.  This one is squeaky stocking. Now I will admit to a bit of a disaster with this one but we crafters are very good at covering up things that go wrong. I had coloured it all with Copics except for some of the details like the stars as I wanted to sue sparkle pens. When I used a pink sparkle pen which hadn't been used for some time it pooled a bi and spoilt my colouring. So the pen went in the bin and I covered the stars with tiny buttons. I used MFT candy land papers, LOTV sentiment tags and a candy cane die I found in my stash which I think was a mag freebie. I also used a MFT stitched border die and some fun flock on the little hats.

A super card Marianne, such a fun image - a clever way to cover your sparkle pen accident.
I'm playing catch up at the moment, I have been on holiday for a week and have been having a major sort out in my craft room.
