After much studying of the tutorial and a false start, here's what I came up with.
I used different colors than in the tutorial, mainly because I didn't have all of the colors. Here are the colors I used.
Here's my finished card. I don't know if you're like me, but I'm desperately making Christmas cards, so I turn every image into something for Christmas. The addition of snowflake chippies and Christmas paper turn this girl into a sweet Christmas wish.
Don't forget to leave a comment below before December 31st and stop by the Make it Crafty Store blog to 'open the door' to 24 other inspirational projects!
Thank you so much for joining us and we wish you and your loved ones a wonderful loving Christmas.
