Purple Fairy Holly over at Mad for Markers Untraditional Christmas Colour Challenge

Hi all,

Welcome to our new Mad for Markers Challenge to Copic Colour an Untraditional Christmas Colour Creation!  Now try saying that aloud LOL!

Well Christmas wouldn't be Christmas in our house without a little bit of purple lol!  So I have used my favourate image from Mo Manning 'Fairy Holly' and decorated a gift box for Christmas.  Now I don't usually use a lot of glitter but the sun has not shone much over here and I think I got a little too carried away.  Originally used 3d purple kindygliltz on the frilly underskirt and got carried away when I glittered the wings and spoilt the underskirt and didn't have time to start again so she is very sparkly!

Around the edge I have used my Tim Holtz on the edge snow flurries on glitter card then added a couple of glittered snowflakes (from my stash) with rhinestone brads coloured with V17.  Then added purple rhinestones for a snow falling effect.


A side view to try and show the sparkly cardstock, spica pens used in hair, lips, snow globe and dress


The ribbon around the box
