Hi, crafty friends! I’m back with another card with one of Mo’s adorable images. This time it’s a Christening card for a boy whose Christening was this past Sunday (Christmas Day).
This Christening image is one that I’ve used several times in the past. It’s super easy to color, which came in handy this time for two reasons: 1 – I didn’t have a lot of time on my hands, and 2 – I haven’t colored in what felt like eons. This was the perfect image to start with after a long break from my markers.
I colored the image with Copics and used patterned paper from Maja Design to create this criss cross card. I added some flowers, a few pearls and also a charm to the large square tag I put inside, which has plenty of room for a personal message.
On the back I put an additional sentiment, and the card was complete. Easy peasy.
Simple color palette, not a whole lot of Copics.
Cue 
I’ve always been a fan of creating blue Christmas cards, but in the past couple of years, green has grown on me, and I think I made more green Christmas cards this year than blue ones. It helps that I’ve found a green Copic combo that I really like.
When all the coloring was done, I stamped and white heat embossed a sentiment from the 
Lots of Copics for this one.
I used a white Gelly Roll 05 pen to create the white dots on the deer, and a die from the A2 Stitched Rectangles STAX 2 set from My Favorite Things to create the faux stitching on the edges of the panel. By not stamping the entire deer, it creates a dynamic effect of having it walk in from the edge of the card.
I stamped a sentiment from the 
The pink and blue green color combination is definitely not traditional for Christmas, but I kind of like it. What do you think, does it work?
Quite a few Copics for such a simple card.
I wanted to make a peaceful scene for this card. I stamped and masked 
I masked off the background too, before going in with my Copic airbrush system to create a soft winter sunset. I then peeled off the masks, colored the background, then everything else.
I left the red details till the end. I don’t want to run the risk of other colors picking up the red, so by leaving it to the end, I avoid that.
Looks like these reindeer are very patiently waiting for Santa. I wonder where he is? Actually, yesterday on my way to work, I saw a passenger on the bus with a long red Santa hat.
I didn’t want to mess up the sky with a sentiment, and the bottom part of the card is too full for one. I might put one inside, but to finish the card, I merely adhered my scene onto a top fold card base I created from Stormy Sea cardstock from Papertrey Ink. The finished card measures 6 x 5 3/8″, which is a bit of an odd size, but I prefer making my card size fit the scene and not the other way around when I create these full scene cards with Purple Onion images.
Not a whole lot of Copics for this one, actually.
