This will be a very short post today, this last day of November. Inspite of my physical difficulties this past month I have been able to produce quite a few projects. 13 in all! I think that's a record for me...
Here is my card for the Magnolia-licious Challenge Blog. The theme this time around is an inspirational picture...
And here is the card I made with the inspiration I got from it...
Here is a close up of how I colored Edwin and his lights have Glossy Accents on them to give them shine, which doesn't show up in the picture. Oh well...
It's not anything fancy, but I was so inspired by Pat Frank using those little Christmas Lights on her card that I just had to give it a try. I tried very hard not to copy her's exactly, but thanks Pat for the inspiration!
Here is how I finished off the inside of the card... On the left side of the card I made a pocket for some money or a gift card...this will be going to my eldest grandson!
I appreciate your stopping by today. I will have another post tomorrow for the Magnolia-licious Highlites challenge....you're going to love that one...
Hugs and Blessings,
Barb

ReplyDeleteYou have done so well Barb making all those cards under such circumstances. Your cards are always so beautifully made and this one is no exception. Super idea using those little lights. Hmmm... like the idea of the money pocket inside too.

How sweet to see poor neglected Edwin. He looks like he is having so much fun. Excellent idea to use Glossy Accents. Your colouring is awesome as usual but in particular I LOVE the background. Cool DP, perfect for the theme.

Hi Barb!
ReplyDeleteWell you conquered the Challenge easily.
Isn't this Edwin adorable? He reminds me of every Christmas of my life and the men in the family fighting with the lights. Dad, brother, husband and son's LOL
Your paper is perfect with all the colours and those awesome lights are so perfect for this image. Really like that you put the pocket inside for the gift :o)
Just a great, fun card!
