I've seen so many cards out there done up with this Door with Wreath and no wonder, it is a stunning image. I know I've coloured it before but knew I wanted to do it again...mainly because my original card went to Emily for display at her booth and I couldn't let this Christmas slide without sending one out. I could have just done a repeat of my original, but how boring would that be. I wanted to do a red door but Paulabella screamed noooooooooooo when I told her because she was doing a red door (we no likey to compete) so I decided to do a brown door with a red shovel.
I used E40 thru E44 on the door and warm greys on the frame with G82, 94 and 99 on the wreath. Again I added some green glitter to the wreath and liquid applique doused with glitter for the snow. I let the liquid applique dry overnight and then heated it just slightly to puff it up a bit. Helen, who works for Emily at the Stamping Bella boooo-tique said many people asked what glitter I used on the wreath, so for inquiring minds it is Art Institute, Ultra fine, #167 Rain Forest Transparent. whew! And for the snow, I used Hero Arts prisma glitter (one of my fav all purpose go-to glitters when i want iridescence)
After I had it all coloured I searched my paper stash and had NOTHING to match it...a good excuse to make a trip to Pickle and low and behold, this piece of Crate Paper from the Restoration collection could NOT have been more perfect. I think I may go back and get a couple more sheets just in case I decide to make a few more of these for my stash.
Till next time, later....Linda.

BEAUTIFUL.....love how you did the trim of the door differently. Didn't realize this until I seen Paula do it! You guys have a keen eye. Looks fabulous this way!
Stunning! Love that red shovel, just makes this card 'pop'!
I subscribe to your blog and when I received this post this morning, I had to come over to tell you just how beautiful it is. I'm in awe of your colouring skills at the best of times, but this card is truly outstanding!
Absolute perfection!! Your coloring makes it look so dimensional, as does the liquid applique. I love the frame you created with the crate paper - gorgeous!! tfs
This is absolutely beautiful! So realistic!
Hi Linda! I LOVE the door in brown! Glad you colored it that way. I really loved your door in white as well. With your coloring skills you could make any color look amazing though!! Happy Holidays...Hugs, Mary.
