Santa is coming to town! I'm late not Santa...

Ciao a tutti cari amici blogger,
no no Babbo Natale non è in ritardo... sono io ad esserlo! Purtroppo non sono riuscita a postare questa card ieri, i giorni di Natale sono sempre coooosì pieni di cose da fare!! Comunque questa è l'ultima card natalizia di quest'anno, ho fatto meno card del 2011 e non ho usato alcuni (e non  sono pochi!) timbri e immagini digitali che avevo comprato... che peccato! Mi sono proposta di usarli a Luglio e ad Agosto per le prime card natalizie.
Ecco la mia card, spero vi piaccia!!

Hello dear blogger friends,

A Xmas wall hanging - DT for Copic Marker Europe

Ciao a tutti cari amici blogger,
oggi vorrei mostrarvi un nuovo progetto che ho fatto per il DT del  Copic Marker Europe blog.
Stalvolta è qualcosa di diverso da una card, tutto è nato per caso perchè mi piacciono molto le tag in ogni forma immaginabile, e quando ho comprato un pacco di grandi manila tag (4.125" x 8.5" circa 10,5 cm x 21,5 cm) ho deciso di fare una card particolare ma il lavoro è cresciuto e alla fine ho fatto questa decorazione da parete, il tema ovviamente è l'inverno e il Natale.

Hello dear all blogger friends,
today I'd like to show you a new project I made for the DT for Copic Marker Europe blog. 

This time it's something different from a card, everything born by chance because I really love tags in every shape you can imagine, and when I bought a pack of big manila tags (4.125" x 8.5") I decided to make a sort of a card, but the work grew and in the end I made this big wall hanging, the theme is obviously winter- Christmas.

Ho utilizzato un'immagine di  “Crafts and me” chiamata “Gift of winter”, molto affascinante e deco, le carte sono di Prima, i dies sono di Memory Box ”Frostyville Border” e Spellbinder “Floral oval”.

I used an image by “Crafts and me” called “Gift of winter”, a very enchanting and  old-fashioned image, the papers are from Prima, the dies are Memory Box ”Frostyville Border” and Spellbinder “Floral oval”.

L'immagine colorata vista da vicino / Here is a close up of the colored image:

E un dettaglio della parte inferiore della tag con un sentiment gratuito online / And here is a close up of the bottom part of the tag with a freebie sentiment:

Ogni serratura può nascondere un segreto ma noi abbiamo la chiave... / Every lock can hide a secret but we have got the key….

Ho aggiunto al lavoro due elementi utili, un calendarietto e alcuni fogli di  post-it con una piccola matita.
Così questo wall hanging è una decorazione per la casa ma anche un oggetto utile se si vuole scrivere un appunto veloce:

I added two little useful pieces, a calendar and some post-it sheets with a little pencil. So this wall hanging is an home decoration but also a useful object for a quick note of the day:

Copic  Markers:

Skin: E0000, R000, E00, E21, E13,

Hair:  E 50, E51, E53, Y21, Y26, Y28 and glitter Spica pen "gold"

Dress:  B91, B93, B95, B97, B000

Wings and dress details:  RV000, RV12, BV000, BV00

Shadows:  BG000, BG00, BG10, C03, RV12

I really hope you enjoy this new project and also hope it will be a bit inspirational for your future Xmas works! 

Don't forget to go and get a look to CME blog you'll find a lot of ideas, great colouring and inspirational works.

Happy crafting!

Thank you very much for your visit.

Enjoy the rest of the week

Hugs,
