Thursday at MelJen's Designs

Hello and happy Thursday!  I have a Christmas card to share with you today.  I used the Happy Holiday Wreath by Meljens Designs.


I colored my image with my Prismacolor pencils and gamsol.  I really wanted to keep my card layout very clean and simple so I embossed my cardstock for some texture and added some crimson pearls.  I added a little bit of Glamour Dust to my image.  I colored two bows and cut one out and popped it up using foam dots.  My friend Dolly gave me the idea to pop up the bow...thanks, Dolly!  Aside from coloring all those leaves (and I swear they kept multiplying while I was coloring them lol) this was a pretty simple card to make.


Be sure you stop by the MelJen's Designs Challenge and Inspiration Blog.  We have a new challenge for you this week and Melissa also has a new release.  You won't want to miss it!

Thanks for stopping by today.  I do appreciate your visits and enjoy reading your comments.

Hugs, Anita
