Ombre Noel

Hello everyone!  This was the third "technique" card that we made at the retreat last weekend.  We had so much fun!!!  There were a couple of fun tricks that we learned.  One thing I do on almost every card (not intentionally, usually) is that I make an error and then share with everyone what "not to do"!  In this one, there were a couple but the most difficult one was that I adhered the "N" before trying to color the fill-in letters.  Since the "N" overlapped the "O" that was incredibly silly!  The second lesson on this card was about the alcohol markers - they show on the back side of the cardstock.  I usually layer cards but this one had the art on the card-base itself.  Hence the addition of the red scallop!  I cut the piece of red large enough to cover the inside flap. ;-)

I feel so renewed and inspired after the weekend.  There is nothing quite like spending time with just girlfriends!  No offense meant to my male friends - but my "sisters" nurture my soul.  I've got some other new things but they haven't been photographed yet - I'll get to that tomorrow night with any luck.  

Hugs!!
