Cue The Lights

My very last christmas card for this year which is for The Doc.  I saw this image from Pink Gem Designs and just knew I had to get it. The only time we get dressed up now is to go either to the Dr's, Dentist or Opticians so thought this digi  would be perfect to colour up in both our favourite colours. I also knew that I wanted to have  little lights on the card and found  a Tutorial on You Tube by Maximum Crafts. Maxine's instructions were very easy to follow.

This is the card in daylight.


Coloured using my Graph'it pens and silver/gold gel pens, then given a liberal dusting of Pearlescent chalk for  a subtle sparkle. The die cut frame by  Card Deco is called ' Holly Round' and the  sentiment by Tonic Studio's Merry Christmas 1404e.  The picture below is taken with the lights  switched on the card but the glare from the Gold mirror card  was not allowing me to get a good photo though it does show The Doc's fancy scarf and bobble hat up nicely !

Taken with the house lights off  and the lights  (which are hidden behind the front panel of the easel card ) switched on. The Doc loved his card. 



Wishing You All
Happy Christmas
and a 
Healthy Year for 2022.

Stay safe and jabbed up to the hilt!!
