This lovely lady is 'Victorian Winter Emily'.  She is so elegant, I had to give her lots of bling and lace.  I colored her with my Prismacolor Pencils, snapped a picture, and then brought her back into my computer to complete the card.  

I know the theme is one of everyone's favorites so please join us; we love to see all your creativity!

Thanks for visiting and have a blessed day!

Today you will find lots of awesome new inspiration at the Heartfelt Creations blog.  I chose to work with this beautiful image from the Peaceful Night Stamp set which I colored with Prismacolor Pencils. 

This is the first time I've tried the Stampendous Embossing Enamel and I love it!  It's such a beautiful way to add the look of snow. Tip: be careful not to start a fire, LOL!  If you've never used it before, it needs to be heated from underneath and all at once I noticed my paper was smoking!  Yikes!

I'll add my list of products used and instructions.

Christmas Stocking for a Little Sweetheart

Today's project was such a joy to create!  It's a stocking for my sweet GGD.  It's a Kaisercraft MDF stocking which I finished with lots of pink, lace, and gold, using the beautiful stamps and dies from Heartfelt Creations.

Isn't Lyric a pretty name?  And her sister is Harmonee.  Could it be we have a musical theme going on, LOL.
The letter stickers fit right in the center of the Christmas Sentiment Circles.

The poinsettia flowers are so pretty and easy to make and the Holly Berry stamp and matching die is the perfect size for any project. 

I am including the complete supply list and instructions.
