Festive Bow

I like to mooch for inspiration on Pinterest and kept seeing these fantastic bow cards, so I had to try one for myself.   I actually made the bow a little while ago, but it got put aside for other things as I didn't really know what I wanted to do with it.
Being a fairly small space on the front, I figured a sprite would be the perfect image to use.  So finally I have finished it using 'Holiday Wreath Sprite' from Aurora Wings.

Products used:

  • Recollections cardstock
  • DoCrafts glitter card
  • Sizzix Tim Holtz Festive Greenery dies
  • Spellbinders Big Scalloped Oval die
  • Distress Ink - Stormy Sky
  • ProMarkers - Warm Grey 1&2, Cinnamon, Tan, Dusky Pink, Almond, Indigo, True Blue, Cobalt, Arctic Blue, Berry Red, Holly, Lush Green, Pine, Forest, Burgundy, Cardinal, Gold, Canary, Cool Grey 1, 2&4, Moss & Bright Green
  • Sakura Gelly Roll - White
  • Prismacolor pencils

  2. Yours is the first "bow card" I've seen. It's amazing! I love the sprite you chose. All their images are adorable, but a wreath for hair?? Inspired. You did an awesome job coloring her.
