Lacy Sunshine Challenge #12

Today sees the start of a new challenge on the Lacy Sunshine Challenge Blog Thank you for all the wonderful entries into our last challenge. The voting has been done and the winner's and a new GDT are announced on the blog. Congratulations everyone.
It's the turn of Lexie's team to start things off this time. As always, the challenge theme is "Anything Goes" and there is a free Lacy Sunshine original digi image for you to use. All entries must have a hand coloured image, either stamped or a digi. There is a top prize of $30 to spend in the Lacy Sunshine Shop if you've used a Lacy Sunshine image. The "Top Three" will each get to choose 2 digis from the store. There is also a GDT post up for grabs each challenge.
Heather Valentin - the talent behind Lacy Sunshine - has been busy creating new digis for all your Christmas cards. I was given "Tinsel" to play with. She is a delight to colour and will be available to purchase in the Lacy Sunshine Shop later today.


I wanted to use this lovely Bearly Mine green and blue paper and matted it onto bright green textured Papermania card. I wrapped a length of sparkly silver ribbon around the layers before attaching to an 8"x 8" card blank. The holly, tree and snowflake dies are all from Marianne. I cut the holly and snowflakes from white card and coloured them with Promarkers. I added glitter as accents to the snowflakes.


I just had to chose blue and green as the matching colours for Tinsel and I used my trusty Promarkers on her - colours on request - I found a metallic silver pen to colour all the tinsel bits and then added glitter, which doesn't show too well in the photos unfortunately. After loosely cutting Tinsel out, I mounted her on foam pads. 
Lastly, I added some sparkly gems to the tree but left the rest of it for Tinsel to finish off.
Please now go and check on the Lacy Sunshine Challenge Blog for a full set of the rules and how to claim your free image. You will also be able to see the wonderful winter creations from the other members of Lexie's talented team.
