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

I love the wonder in this toddler's expression as she reaches to touch the shining ornament that hangs within her reach just above a sweet gift of the perfect teddy bear waiting under a decorated Christmas tree.  This digital image is named Eden's 2nd Christmas and was designed by Elisabeth Bell.  You can get your own Eden's 2nd Christmas at the Elisabeth Bell's Digital Gallery here.

This photo shows my Copic-filled image.  Rather than reduce the entire digital image to fit within my 2" block, I trimmed parts of the larger image away.

I've layered Bazzill dark brown cardstock with Bo Bunny's Time Piece Collection's patterned paper to form my Round Side Step Card.  A Spellbinder's Lace Doily Motifs square adds a delicate frame to my image.  I found it very difficult to remove the cardstock from that intricately detailed die that resulted in a tear that I had to hide.  Has anyone found an easy way to remove the die cut from this die?

Behind my image stands a Sizzix Tim Holtz Alterations chipboard Pine Tree that I covered with green cardstock before diecutting.  At the base of the tree, I've added old Sizzix medium Gifts made from chipboard covered with paper before diecutting.  The Teddy Bear is also made from an old Sizzix Teddy Bear die.  I love the dimension that the chipboard covered with cardstock creates to diecuts.  The bow at the bear's collar adds a nice touch.  Teddy's eyes and nose are covered with Ranger's Enamel Accents in black for real-life sparkle.

This photo of the side view of my Round Side Step Card shows the tree and accompanying gifts . . .

I've used Punch Bunch punches to create a cluster of handmade large and medium poinsettias, that are layered over a Cheery Lynn Designs Fanciful Flourish and Mini Fanciful Flourish to surround my image.  A QuicKutz Holly Leaves with a Doodlebug Designs Crushed Velvet Brad lies at the bottom of my round card front.

Here's a view of my round side-step card showcasing my use of Elisabeth Bell's Eden's 2nd Christmas digital image . . .
