Card Art with Copics: Elisabeth Bell's Eden's 2nd Christmas

This sweet little toddler simply can not resist the temptation to touch the shiny, sparkling ornament of her family's Christmas tree.  This digital image, designed by Elisabeth Bell, is named Eden's 2nd Christmas.  You can find her at the Elisabeth Bell Digital Gallery here.

Here's a closer view of my Copic-filled image:

My flower clusters consist of handmade flowers made from EK Success 6-petal medium and small daisy punches with a Creative Impressions Bits of Bling White Pearl placed inside of each.  They're also painted with Diamond Stickles for extra sparkle.  The McGill pine branch adds some dimension.  I've twisted my Jenni Bowlin Superior Cream Stick Pin to create a ring to hold my Dove of the East Angel charm at the center of my 1/4" Wrights Creative Classics lace bow.  Simple to punch, then pinch each petal, these flowers look beautiful and full when layered.  Here's a closer view of one of my flower clusters . . .

Graphic45's Christmas Past Collection "We Wish You a Merry Christmas," Basic Grey Wassail "Merry Happy" and American Traditional Designs Holiday Cheer-Earthtones "Christmas Cookies," layered with cardstock form my easel card.  I've die cut my image using the Letterpress Large Circles set and layered the circles on top of Letterpress Nesting Doily Circles.

I've included a few Martha Stewart and EK Success Paper Shapers butterflies on the front and inside of my card.  They're all lined with pearls over their bodies and their wings are painted with Diamond Stickles for added shine.  A Basic Grey green button sits on each side of my flower cluster.  An Outlines Rubberstamp sentiment adorns my card front while a Hero Arts "Wishing You Peace" sentiment takes center stage on the inside of my card.

Here's my completed easel card showing my use of Elisabeth Bell's Eden's 2nd Christmas digital image . . .
