Crafty Angels Weekly Challenge Week 15 - It's All New!

This week over on The Crafty Angels Weekly Challenge Blog it is my turn to set the theme....and I chose "It's All New!". I want to see you make something for the first time....whatever you like, but I want it to be something you have never tried before. I decided to make an Easel card....I was a little worried as I am not a crafter that follows written instructions, and that was all I could find. Then on Saturday what should drop through my letter box but a gorgeous Easel card from DawnyP....and because I could see how it was made.....I could make it.

For my card I have used the DCWV "Rose Tinted Christmas", layered with some random pink cardstock from my stash, and also some scraps of Doodlebug Sugar Coated cardstock in Beetle Black. The image is by The Greeting Farm, she is a Wild Sprout called Vivi, and I have coloured her with Copics using the following colours...

Hair - C1/C3/C5/C7
Clothing - R85/C1/C3/C5/C7

I have kept the embellishments simple by just adding some snowflakes punch with my Martha Stewart Punch, and also a Hero Arts bling snowflake and finally a sentiment by Craftwork Cards.
