I had so much fun creating today's card! As very often I mixed and matched pieces from different sets to help me set up my card, and I started off by cutting a Pierced Snowflakes panel out of Strathmore bristol smooth cardstock, and from that panel I cut an Eyelet Rectangle panel that I colored using spun sugar and worn lipstick distress inks.

I added texture to my panel to give it more interest: I mixed some worn lipstick distress ink with water, some festive berries distress ink with water, and some copic opaque white ink with water, and then used a small brush to make splatters of those three different mix on my piece of paper. Once it was dry, I stuck my panel pink panel on an A2 white card base.

Next I cut all the bits and pieces out of different colored cardstock, and used oxide inks to add shadows and give everything more character. Here is a detailed list of the items I picked:

• Love From Afar: the Earth, banner, heart, doves, greeting • Winter Foliage: poinsettias, pine leaves, berries

I arranged and attached everything on my Eyelet Rectangle panel using foam squares and liquid glue, and as final details, I added highlights on the leaves and flowers using a white gel pen, glossy accents on the berries to make them shine, and finally a little bit of morning dew nuvo drop on each poinsettia to bring sparkles to the card.
