Merry Christmas

Hello friends,  I was asked by Sonja to make a card with this cute Lili of the Valley image called “Christmas Snooze” providing all the exact information on supplies and colors I used to make it. I will try to keep the therefore text short.

I would like to tell you this was a “fast” card but honestly the coloring took quite some time. The entire card took me about 2hours and 45 minutes to make (deciding on papers, choosing colors, finding a sketch – this one is for Mojo Monday or get an idea what I want to make), 10 minutes to take a bunch of photos of it and about 15 minutes to download, choosing the ones I want to use, crop and edit the light a bit – use Photoshop C3 . There is a tutorial on my blog how I edit my photos. Write up for my blog getting links could add up to an other 15 minutes.

As you might know, in my personal choice iam always a bit worried when using lots of flowers in a card with a boy image but I hope the ones here work. I have added a little pine cone for some texture.
