HAVE YOURSELF A MERRY LITTLE CHRISTMAS (8)

For this Christmas card, I used the Merry Little Christmas set from Avery Elle.

I took a piece of watercolor cardstock and masked off the edges all around. I wanted to blend the background and create a white border around it. I used Oxide Inks, Blueprint Sketch and Cracked Pistachio. I added some silver watercolor drops onto the background and let it air dry.

I stamped the images and colored them with Copic Markers. Here are the colors I used:
Bear: E53 - E55 - E57/ BG23 - BG49/ YG11 - YG13/ R14 - R46/ RV10 - R83/ Y02 - Y15/ B91 - B95/ E71 - E74 - E79
Penguin: W5 - W7/ W0 - W2/ BG23 - BG49/ YG11 - YG13/ R14 - E46/ R10 - R83/Y02 - Y15/ B91 - B95
Hendgehog: E53 - E55 - E57/ E000 - E00 - E21/ R14 - R46/ RV10 - R83
Mouse: W0 - S2/ R14 - R46/ RV10 -R83

I fussy cut the images, stamped and heat embossed the sentiment with gold embossing powder from Ranger. I assembled the card and adhered the panel onto a Rainforest cardstock. I added some highlights and dots to the images, with a white gelly roll pen.

I struggled with this card somehow, but I'm liking it more now.
