Tidings of Joy From Elizabeth - Julia Spiri Giveaway Image

“The best way to spread Christmas cheer is singing loud for all to hear.” - Elf


Julia Spiri digi image (Elizabeth), Spellbinders frame die,
Cricut Design Space cutting and writing features, gems, pearls,
 Copic markers, red card stock, digital dp for inset on bodice, silver leafing pen

Hey there from Nannyland,

I'm so excited that Julia Spiri. one of my all-time favorite artists, is generously giving her Facebook followers this image as a freebee until December 20.  We are asked to add our colored image to her Facebook Giveaway album, where we will have a chance to win one of her fabulous coloring books.  I'm crossing my fingers because I love her beautiful images so much!

This grayscale image called "Elizabeth" is absolutely stunning.  She was a joy to color with copics in shades of red and green, with silver accents, to create a holiday card.  I added a paper pieced inset to her bodice and green glitter Nuvo drops to her festive dangly earrings.  I cut my lacy Spellbinders frame in white card stock and added  red gems for sparkle.  The poinsettia and sentiment tag were created in Cricut Design Space. The background panel, flower and sentiment tag were lined with a silver leafing pen. I added pearl accessories for a little touch of classic elegance.   

What a delightful surprise this beautiful, generous gift was.  Julia's Etsy shop is full of gorgeous images just like this one.  I think I'll go Christmas shopping in her store for some fun images to add to my Julia Spiri collection.  Merry Christmas to me. (And to you, too, of course.)
