My friend Tammi sent me some Rachelle Anne Miller images along with my Christmas card, & this is the first I've gotten to play with one. I think they are just so sweet ~ but I don't own even one!! I really wanted the moose with the lights around his antlers, but never got around to ordering it :(
I actually started this card on Christmas Day. I KNOW!!!! Doesn't look that difficult, does it?? But between all the holidays, & being antsy to get everything put away by today, I didn't have a spare minute to stamp (& I wasn't about to give up my Drake & Josh movie to do so!!). I finally finished it tonight. The image is colored with Prismas & gamsol, & I added a LOT of Dazzling Diamonds glitter. Did some sewing on my NEW Sew Mini, added some pearls to the corners, some organdy ribbon behind the image & it was done. It really didn't take long once I decided to finish it, & it makes for a cute winter card.
So how did I get a semi-decent picture at 9:30 at night?? I got creative & made myself a light box. I couldn't afford a real one, so I just followed the directions on THIS WEBSITE. I still don't have fabric ~~ I want to get some light cotton or or muslin, like they suggest ~~ so I covered it with white paper towel for now, lol. Sometimes ya gotta improvise! I think I still like natural light better, but since it's Wisconsin & it gets dark at 2:00 in the winter, I had to come up with an alternative.
Well I'm off to watch Weeds. I'm so addicted to that show. We don't get Showtime, but I've been buying the DVDs. I got season 1 at Target the day after Thanksgiving for $9. I had already bought season 2 on Amazon & I'm going to purchase season 3 as soon as I can. It's a great show ~~~ but quite different from Drake & Josh :)

Such a sweet card Michelle!! I just got this image too, it looks great on a card, I can't wait to make one too!!
And your homemade light box must be fantastic. I have a Walmart light box, and my backgrounds don't look half as bright as yours does with a napkin!! What an awesome idea!!
