Purple Rain

It's been awhile since I have posted.  I had cataract surgery done on both eyes and my eyes have not settled down yet.  At least that is shat the eye doctor told me.  Hope they settle down soon as everything is fuzzy and it's hard to see to get things straight.  Not that I could before, but one casn hope.  My card for today is for the challenge #19 at Dragonfly Journeys.  It's a purple challenge, and I also love purple so this was a fun card for me.  My image is one I purchased some time ago and I thought it was perfect for this card. I used colored pencils to color the image as I wanted a softer look. The frame for the image is a stitched scalloped die called sunshine layers from WPlus9. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did making it.

Christmas Wishes

Before I get to my card for today I am really proud to post that I made the top three at Sweet Sketch Wensday 2 with the card I made on July 5th.  Thanks so much Sweet Wensday2.

Now on to my card for today.  I  have made my first Christmas card for this year to use in a challenge #ctd350 at  Color Throwdown. It was an interesting color combination and I have to say I really like the outcome.  Here is my card.  I colored my Christmas Angel with Copic markers and then fussy cut it out to put on the black center.  I added the pink and green pearls, some glitter on the flowers and stitch lines around the edges for extra impact.
