Hello friends! It's time for a new Color Challenge at Splitcoaststampers! Mary is hosting this week and she has chosen Berry Burst, Granny Apple Green and Smoky Slate for the colors this week. The dessert option is "Christmas in July" which is always fun!
I decided to use one of my favorite Christmas stamps for this challenge. I used Copic Markers in colors as close as possible to this week's colors. I really liked using the markers because they are great for getting into tiny spots and this image has plenty.
After coloring the children, the wreath and the bear's Santa hat, I used a bit of brown to create some dirt to ground the image. While the polar bear is white, I used some warm grays to add shadows. Once the coloring was complete, the panel was die cut with a stitched rectangle die, then mounted onto a white card base. I thought about using a snowflake cover die cut from glimmer paper for the background but it was just too busy, but I did decide to adhere the snowflakes and dots left over from the die cutting for some fun bling. A bit of shimmer pen was used on the "fur" of the hat and a white gelly roll pen added a bit of brightness to the white polka dots on the gift bag.
Thanks so much for visiting, it's always so appreciated! Be sure to use the link above to the Color Challenge and hopefully join in the fun!
