A Card for the last ArtbyMiran Facebook Reserved Challenge

Good Morning Crafters, I cannot believe its 2 months since I posted a card here on my No.2 blog I have been creating but as Ive been rather ill over this time I may have not felt like posting anything I made, Im really sorry to have let you down.
Anyway a very Happy New Year to you and over on Facebook Art by Miran are changing their Reserved Monthly Challenge and this is the last one they are hosting, as always you are entitled to a free image if you have taken part in the last months Challenge and this is the  young lady for this month.

I have printed her onto white card then used my copic pens to colour her, afterwards I cut her out with a Spellbinders rectangle die and a fancy one for the mount out of mauve card. I stamped the sentiment onto white card and I have used the small die as shown to mount it.
The base card is a 6.50"x 6.50" white card with a first mount out of mauve card and the papers are also from Art by Miran and I have used three papers in lilac, pink and blue and used a Martha Stewart Border die to give it a fancy edge then layered them up as who in the photo.
I then placed my mounted image towards the left and the sentiment underneath, to finish of I have used Tonic's pearl drops in three of the corners.
This card is to be entered in the following Challenges:-

A Christmas Card for Sundays with Santa Challenge

Good Evening Crafters, well its been a few days since I last posted and Im still finding it difficult to find the memo to creating more cards to post, I am making the odd Christmas cards for my stash and this is one for the Sundays with Santa Facebook Challenge, this weeks is "Shades of Red" and I have actually used The Paper Shelter "Are you my Friend" and you will find it here and I have printed the image onto white card then used my copic pens to colour it, I then cut it out completely.
The base card is a 6"x 6" white card and for my first mount I have used red card, then I used the one of the new "Merry Christmas Vintage Quick Papers" and you will find them here, then I have placed my cut out image in the center, before doing so I have used glitter on the white fluff of her had and coat, then for her beard and hair I have used Deco Art Snow Writer and swirled it to represent hair.
I then cut out the sentiment from a Britainia die, and these then placed down the right hand side of the image.
