Winter Yumi

For the entire month of December Yumi & Fumi Handmade is having an inspiration challenge~~you can find the details, HERE~~so I thought I would play along.

Here is the inspiration photo~

Isn't it gorgeous? I started out doing really well by coloring up Winter Yumi in gold and then I took a side road I think, LOL! I must admit, inspiration photo challenges are not my strong suit! I hope that I at least get a gold star for effort!!

Winter Yumi is colored with copics and then fussy cut out. I added a bit of Smooch Illuminate to her legs to look like she has sparkly tights on. Then I paired her with some Basic Grey Jovial papers and some wood veneers to finish the card. 

I also finished the inside by stamping the image in Delicata Gold ink and adding a strip of the designer paper. 

If you get a chance, I'd love to see you join in the fun with this month's challenge at Yumi & Fumi Handmade!! 

Monthly Challenge #3~PHOTO INSPIRATION!

Happy Sunday everyone!! Well if you were anything like me this past week, you are paying the price today with maybe an extra pound or two added to your waistline, LOL! Man, I ate a lot of food this past week that's for sure!! For all our U.S. friends, we hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving!!

I know we all have so much to be thankful for, and we at Yumi and Fumi are really thankful for all of our fans and DT family!! You all are such a blessing and we truly appreciate all your love and support!!
