Thursday at Meljen's Designs.

Good morning! Happy Wednesday!! I hope you all are having a great week so far! I have been super busy at work. Kevin started a job yesterday and I'm really a bit down about it. It was really lonely when I came home yesterday. I've been trying to work on cards when I get home. I have two done. I want to finish one more before the weekend.  That's about it!

Today is our Challenge #231 at Meljen's Designs and the theme is Diamonds Are A Girls Best Friend! When I thought about this challenge I thought.. Hmm.. I need a diva and I need to add some gems! LOL  So here is what I came up with:






Of course.. trying to get some Christmas cards finished LOL I've opted for another Christmas design. I have used Santa Baby Diva. I colored her with Copic markers. I decoupaged her a bit.. I popped her head and her front arm and the puffs around her outfit. I have also added Stickles to those to add that glitter. I added the two Santa's on the side and the tinsel around the edge. I added the two red pearls and the gems around her for that diamonds part of the challenge :)  The sentiment was created by me.

Copic Markers Used:

• Skin: E000, E0, E01, E11, E13
• Red: R14, R35, R46, R59
• Lips: R22, R14
• Cheek: R20, R22
• Green On Outfit and Holly: YG03, YG05, YG09
