I used Libby the gypsy girl from the Fredericka Mini CD collection and dressed her up in Christmassy colours with the help of Graph'It markers. You can also download Libby as a single digistamp.
The sentiment is from Gingerbread Twist. I wanted to make a Christmas card with a twist and the "Naughty or Nice?" seemed an appropriate greeting, given my fertile imagination! I think this card will do nicely for a certain bachelor friend of the family. If Libby were to turn up at his door on Christmas eve, that will be his holiday wish sorted! LOL.
As promised, no chocolates BUT while no one was looking little gold choc wrapper landed in her basket. Some gold stitching, 3 eyelets, (quite) a few Liquid Pearl droplets and it's done.
Here are a couple of close-ups:
Hair: Warm Greys 08, 06, 04
Skin: Cotton, Flannel, Nude, Skin, Light Caramel, Peach
Red: Ruby, Lipstick, Tomato, Coral
Green: Amazon, Sequoia, Forest, Normandy
White: Neutral Greys 01, 02, 03
Basket: Cacao, Sienna, Cognac
And on the inside I used the flower and sentiment from A Home For Christmas CD Collection:
Libby's taking her basket of festive cheer to these challenges:
Brown Sugar #120: AG
Sister Act #83: AG Card Only
