Tickell Expressions Cocoa Card

This card features a free digi image and sentiments from Tickell Expressions, the talented Teresa Arsenault's blog. You can visit her blog and pick up this freebie along with other freebies and inspiration at http://tickellexpressions.blogspot.com/
I started my card by creating a 5x7 inch card base with green cardstock. Then I embossed the front with a Cuttlebug holly embossing folder. I sized and printed my image and sentiments with my Silhouette Design Studio software and did an offset cut of the digi image before doing a print and cut of the digi and sentiments.
I adhered my sentiments with foam squares and my cinnamon sticks tied with baker's twine with large glue dots. I added some red sequins and a gold star with glue dots, as well.
After coloring my digi with Copic and MEXPY markers, I used foam tape to adhere it to the red glitter paper I had die cut using a Spellbinders Victorian Medallion 2 die. I adhered the glitter medallion with glue tape.
I'm entering this card in the following challenges:

Share Joy Challenge: Glitter (red glitter paper), no patterned paper, and twine (baker's twine on the cinnamon sticks)

  1. Your card is gorgeous. I love the embossing and what a sweet job you did of coloring up my image. This just blesses me so much and I appreciate the shout-out too.

    I would love to feature this on my blog and FB page, with a link to your blog post. Also, you now qualify (my December offer) to put in a request for an image you would like me to draw.

    Merry Christmas!
