Inspired By #186C

I only wish I had the time and energy to make a tree skirt like this one - but I'm happy to borrow its colors for my Inspired By card this week with my IB186C - Cool Holiday Christmas card! 

Remember this sweet Christmas angel from Penny Black?

Angel Swing stamped in Memento Ink; Pine boughs from Wplus9 Winter Greenery.
Peace + Joy from Pinkfresh Festive Llama.  
That old favorite EF came out for the first time this Holiday card making Season!

Here are all the Copics that I used today:


Now it's your turn - need more inspiration?  Check out all you'll need at the Inspired By blog!  There's also a Back to School inspiration if you need one!

  4. Now you are talking my language! I so love these colors and this sweet, sweet angel makes me smile. I just love the texture and design that this EF provides and you've colored that ornament so wonderfully! I'm not yet ready to think Christmas (it was 106 degrees here yesterday) but you've given me a lovely kick-start. Thanks again for this sweet inspiration.

  6. You certainly nailed another inspiration...those teals are fabulous against all that textural white. That E/F is the awesome as is the coloring on this angelic image.

  9. Hi Michele, just made it here for a gorgeous catch-up! Sorry I couldn't link the Christmas lady with the glass of wine - she seems to be out of stock everywhere. The 'Let's Get Blitzened' is a MFT stamp and also out of stock. Hugs, Jo x

  13. How fun to see this beautiful card with its little bare-bum angel! It makes me smile. As for the photo of the skirt, it reminded me of childhood Christmas trees as my mom used blue lights and teal/green glass balls.
