I have another card to share today featuring another one of the new images releasing next week from Lili of the Valley (Sept 6th). This image is called Peace on Earth. It’s such a beautiful image.
I used some patterned papers from October Afternoon’s Good Cheer line. It’s one of their older, retired lines, but it’s still one of my favorite Christmas paper lines.
I colored the image on copic x-press it cardstock with these copic markers: C1, C2, C4, BG000, BG01, E000, E00, E11, E13, R12, E21, E23, E33, E35, E37, Y35, R00, R20, R21, R22, R30, R32, colorless blender. I used a Pear Green promarker to color the wreath on her head.
I used a sentiment from the Circular Christmas Sentiments set and added some little pearls to it. I used these flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts: cream 25mm wild rose, champagne pink 20mm open roses, cream 15mm open roses, and baby pink 4mm closed rose buds along with some pearl spray. I cut the pearl spray apart and tucked pieces of it into my floral arrangement.
We are off to go camping this weekend. Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!
Niki

Absolutely beautiful. I love soft colors for Christmas now - use to be big on the red and green but have fallen in love with pastels. You did a lovely job!
