Crafty ribbons Christmas event - day 16

Hey, hey! I'm back again - with yet another card. But this time it's not Christmas card. I know, miracles do happen. lol I enjoy making Christmas cards, but it was nice making a non-Christmas card for a change.

The Christmas advent event is still going on at Crafty ribbons inspiration blog, so hop there to be in the chance to win one of the awesome prizes from our sponsors. Today you have a chance to win this amazing prize from Letraset.

I'm sure you wouldn't mind these markers, right? ;)

Here's the the card I made.

I decided to make a card with the adorable Dress up Marci from LLLC. I coloured the image with Promarkers and I did the shading with Faber Castell pencils. On Marci's necklace and flower I used glitter glue. Papers, flowers, doily and pearls came from my stash. The beautiful flower ribbon and lace are from Crafty ribbons. On the oval behind Marci I used some embossing powder. I just grabbed some with my fingers and sprinkled it around the oval. The first time I did this I wanted to use my heat gun directly on the embossing powder - you know, like usually. Mistake! I had embossing powder all over the place. So I tried again - and this time I put my heat gun under the cardstock and heated the embossing powder from below. And it worked! :)
