I colored everything with my Copic Markers, and white gel pen. Then cut out the Donkey and wagon, the toys and the wall. I pop dotted the wall/window on the park scene, then pop dotted the donkey and wagon on this. Lots of layers, and I love the shadows. I cut a slit in the wagon and added the toys into the wagon... more like a Christmas Wagon now! I matted the sentiment "Believe" with a scrap piece of card stock, and then matted the "images" with the same. I then matted the with green piece as well then used brown card stock for the card base.
I doodled with the white gel pen around the edges, then I had some "snow" fun! I used white puffy paint and added snow to the park scene! Love that look, then I used Diamond glaze and gave the windows a shine. (I don't think you can see this darn it!)
I Love how it came out and it was a whole lot of fun making it. I needed some coloring therapy and de-stressing. Thank you all for your well wishes for my doggie, the news at the Vet wasn't good, and now we wait to see just how bad, it looks as if she does have Cancer. Although you really would not know it by seeing her, she is still running and barking a playing and chasing the cat all over the house. So I am praying that we caught it in time and she will live as long as possible in good health. Christmas is the time of miracles right? Thank you again.
Also I may miss a day or two here and there from now to the holidays - With all the challenges on break and me so far behind in my Christmas gifts... time needs to be spent on them. I will maybe post a few of those that don't peak at my blog ;0)
Hope you have a great Wednesday and have some inky time yourself!

Michelle, you have out done yourself on this one. I can't believe how quickly you created and made this beautiful card....I really do "Believe"....I just love it!
It's just amazing what you can do with rubber!! This card is just out of this world. I'm lovin all the images you used. I BELIEVE!!! Thanks for sharing your creative and inspiring talents.
Your card is fabulous Michelle, but I am so sad to hear the news from the Vet. I do hope that Bonnie responds well to her treatment and makes a full recovery - I know how you are feeling as the same thing happened to us exactly 4 years ago. hugs, annie x
