I colored the image with Copics and 'texturized' his jacket. I added Faux Flower soft to her muff. TIP: You can use any scraps of styrofoam you have to create your own Flower soft. HERE is my picture tutorial on how to make Faux Flower soft- color of your choice. The background of the hearts is done using another technique called Triple dimension (a technique from 2/06). For the background I used Distress Inks. All of the images are from Rogue Redhead Designs Snow Hugs plate.
I am a lover of Pinks, but I think this card is masculine enough to give to my husband.
The Spirit of the Belli Challenge is to use your OLD and FORGOTTEN embellishments. I used Faux Flower soft that I made ages ago and decided it was time to use it up!
When you upload your challenge card to any gallery (Splitcoast, Outlawz, CDAC, etc....), please use keyword CBC136
We have alot of inspiration for you by the DT-and a new Belli to be announced-please check out the Creative Belli Blog for links to their cards and to see who the Belli is!

Oh- one more thing- my little nephew Brian-now 5- made it through Chemo and Radiation- and Make a Wish sent him to Disney prior to Christmas. The family is active in the Dragonfly organization in the Cincinnati area for Children with cancer- he is on a billboard that Dragonfly just put up- I had to share- how cool is that!
Thanks for stopping by!
