White on White Christmas Card
Using Lindy's Starbursts and Magicals on Black

Mixed Media Background using Copic Markers and Airbrush

Our brief for the hop was to use products from X-Press It, Copic Oz and Inspiration Lane suppliers to create a mixed media canvas that represented ourselves.  Now I did a little head scratching over this one, but finally settled on a few things it HAD-TO-HAVE  if it was representing me:  Sparkle, Colour, Birds, Copics and Drama - I think I squeezed all of this onto my canvas.

 I've also snuck in a '25' plate as this is the date of my birthday in September - the 25th.  I've added a few peacock feathers as these are something I've always had in my home and in my parents (feathers not peacocks!), and of course there is SPARKLE everywhere.
