Mark's Finest Papers Blog Hop day 2

Bold and Free

Not long after receiving this set, I was walking across the parking lot at work. I looked down and saw this feather. I knew right away that it was going to embellish my first card using this set.

Christmas Postage Due
Santa was colored with prisma colored pencils. I used gold smooch for his glasses. They are really shiny in real life. I also used gray colored pencils to give the glass part a reflection. It was hard to photograph. Both of these cards are also for the 2 Sketches 4 You challenge.Posted by Picasa
