My Christmas card for 2012.

Hi everyone,
I finished up this card this morning. I used all kinds of different fun things to create it. I drew it on watercolor paper and colored it in with Prismas and watercolor markers. The papers are Bo Bunny's new winter designs. For the background, I used my Letraset Aquamarkers, Derwent watercolor pencils, Caran d'ache watercolor crayons and Photoshop snowflake brushes. Hmmm... that's all I can remember about the products. I had a wonderful time creating her and hope to have her created into cards for Christmas. Oh ya!! I also used Mica flakes!! I'm completely in love with Mica flakes. This was my first time using them. I'm going to find lots of projects in the future to use them on. :) :) :)
Ok, then back to Judge Judy. Have a wonderful day friends!
Hugs,
Tracey
