Okay.. on to our Challenge #95 at Delicious Doodles. This challenge will run for two weeks and is an Anything Goes challenge. In fact, all of the challenges for the summer will run for two weeks and they will all be Anything Goes! So here is my creation for this challenge:
For this card I used Mother Mary --which you can find at the Delicious Doodles Shop. I used my Watercolor Pencils to color this image and then pulled out the paint brush and water. I think it turned out okay. I colored the skin with Copic Markers. The sentiment stamp is from Our Daily Bread. And the inside is from Paper Smooches. The black background is embossed with dots. I added the cross metal embellishment, the twine and the gems on the corner of the sentiment. I kept it colors that were not typically Christmas. Hope you like! I'm not exactly sure how I feel about this one LOL!
