So with this in mind, this weeks challenge is 'Christmas Card'.
I have used the image The Most Adorable Snowmen and they are so adorable.
I started by printing my image twice and fussing cutting one copy to make a mask, this enabled me to ink my Northern lights background, without getting ink on the snowmen.
Once my sky was done, I removed the mask and coloured my image with Copics.
I felt the scene needed something a little extra, so I stamped a Christmas Tree, again masking off my main image, and added liquid pearls for baubles and a little wooden star to the top.
I created some texture to my snow using fluffy puffy stuff, which swells when you heat it.
I am looking forward to see all your Christmas Cards over on the challenge blog, where you are always in with a chance to win a prize.

Julie, this has blown my mind! You'll laugh, but I've never thought of printing my image right up front, when I want it for masking. I always print my 2nd copy after I've coloured the image, and only then, do I work on the background. On that note, I love your background! Absolutely gorgeous! I have just coloured this image for Passion for Markers, so I've also loved seeing another version of it. It always tickles me to see how each crafter interprets and makes an image their own. Stunning card!
