Here's a stunning image from Sweet Pea artist Nikki Burnette called Elena (Plate #73). This stamp is just stunning. It's a great image for making a heart warming Christmas card for the one you hold close. It has incredible detail, but to highlight the sexy lady on the card, I colored in the background images using five different shades of warm grey copic markers.
Here's a close up of the colored image. I colored the girl in warm colors to go with the warm greys in te background. Isn't she beautiful? I just love those holly socks. I would so wear those!
I added one of the vertical sentiment from the Sweet Pea vertical sentiments plate, Holiday Veritcals (Plate #13). Then I added some gorgeous bling to finish off the card. This paper is also some of the beautiful Bazzill embossed paper that already has a layer of shimmery decor on it (that's the dark red coloration in the background). What a perfect Oooo La La card for the Hubby.
