Christmas Cheers!

Here's another peek at one of my 2023 Christmas cards I recently made during a retreat.  I enjoyed this Stamping Bella 'Girl with Bubbly' because she was a larger stamp.  While a lot of the Stamping Bella gals are tiny, it's nice to find one that has some size to her also.  It just gives a little more freedom to shade better with the Copic markers.

I guess you'd say I colored her in non-traditional colors also, I really didn't think about that part.  I just wanted her to be bright and festive. 

I used one of my newer dies upon completion of the coloring.  It's from PinkFresh Studios and it's called Ornate Borders.  Because of her height, I cut the burgundy card base to fit the image and used a top fold.  I then added the bright blue dotted Swiss matting that coordinated will with her dress.  After securing those pieces together, I added the completed image in the center and finished the design with an additional piece of coordinating washi tape.
