Christmas card in neutrals

Cast your burden on the LORD, and he will sustain you; he will never permit the righteous to be moved.

Psalm 55:22

Today’s card is made with an image from La La Land designs.  I coloured her in sepia tones and then embellished the background paper with glitter to place her in a snowy scene.  I toyed ith the idea of using a sentiment but then decided it would distract from the subtle colours.

La La Designs Saxaphone Seb!

Actually the stamp is called Saxphone Luka but I have made this in preparation for Sebastian’s birthday.  The papers are Nacy Watt for Making Cards magazine (again, yes, working through the stash!) The image was stampd and coloured with Promarkers before being cut out and layered up into a card.  I don’t really like yellow but I think it works with the red and white. and this image
