Faith 2

I made two cards for the midway point of the challenge at Path Of Positivity.  This month, the theme is Faith.  Details of the challenge can be found here. 

For my second card, I used a different image from Pickled Pot Pourri Designs:

I coloured the candle and holly using copic markers and then used two different copic markers to outline parts of the image and sentiment.  I added some liquid pearls as highlights.  I also used some lace across the card.  The sentiment is from  Décosse's Dynamite Doodles and is a quote from Helen Keller.

Faith

Mid-way point for the challenge at The Path Of Positivity.  As a reminder, the theme for this month's challenge is "Faith".  Full details of the challenge can be found here.

For my card, I used some holly patterned paper from Kaisercraft.  The image is from Pickled Potpourri Designs and is coloured with copic markers.  I used a sentiment from Beyond The Fringe.  The matting and circle is glitter cardstock from DCWV.  I also added some red brads as accents on the right hand side of the card.
