Sleigh Ride Marcia

It is new release day at Digital Delights.  The new release that I am showcasing today is Sleigh Ride Marcie.  What a cutie!  I cut her out with my Silhouette Cameo.  You can find her here at The Digi Shop.

                       

I used Georgia Pacific white cardstock for the card base and white mat.  The red designer paper is from the Holly Jolly Digital Paper Pack.

 

 The Merry Christmas sentiment ticket is from the Winter Ticket Sentiment set.

 

 

I colored Marcia with these Copic Sketch markers:  B0000, B000, C2, C3, C5, E000, E00, E01, E31, E33, E42, E43, E50, E51, E53, G43, G46, R20, R27, R29, Y23, Y26.  I also used a Black Copic Spica pen on her glasses.

 

I tried to give the feel of hills of snow where Marcia is sledding.  I accented them with Icicle Stickles.  I used the Memory Box Frostyville Border die cut and also MFT Die-namics Let It Snowflakes die cuts.  I sprayed the white mat and die cuts with Imagine Crafts Sparkle Sheer Simmer Spritz to give them a bit of sparkle.  I also used Glossy Accents on Marcia's glasses and Diamond Stickles on her hat.  The snowflake centers are Silver Glitter Candi Accents from The Paper Studio.
