Today's Christmas card is from the Polkadoodles Winnie North Pole Bundle of digital stamp downloads. With all the candy canes, lollipops and sweets in this image, I decided to use lots of non-traditional Christmas colors - pinks, purples, and even a little bit of yellow.
To make this card, I started with the digital image and sized her to fit on an A2 sized card base (about 3 1/2" wide and 4" tall maximium). She's printed on Neenah 110# cardstock which is perfect for Copic marker coloring. To give the extra curve of the snow bank, I selected My Favorite Things Elegant Rectangle Stax die. I selected the darkest lavender Copic (BV13) and carefully scored/colored the edge of the die cut so that it gives the effect of a very thin matting. I covered the card base with the small heart print paper then added the colored image. Next I added the lavender twine which is triple wrapped and then tied with a bow. For the final touch I added diamond Stickles on the pom-pom of her hat to give it a little sparkle. I also added the stickles to the brim and pom-pom on the little bird's hat.
