Hi, crafty friends! We’ve got ONE WEEK to go until the big night. I have another holiday card to share, I’m still making them. This time, I’m featuring Rusty & Piper, Crimson, Boots and Holiday Brownstone, all from the Merriest Little City collection from Purple Onion Designs, illustrated by Stacey Yacula.

I love Stacey’s images, they all work so well together to tell stories. I colored my scene with Copics and cut my panel down ever so slightly.

I stamped a sentiment from the Holiday Time Sentiment set using Eiffel Tower ink from My Favorite Things. I tend to opt for a colored ink to match the card whenever I stamp my sentiment, and I’m not sure how I feel about this grey. It might have been better in green, who knows? I adhered my panel to a top fold card base I created from Stamper’s Select White cardstock from Papertrey Ink and decided not to embellish at all. Sometimes simple is all you need.

Even with a fairly limited color palette on the card, I used quite a few Copics.
