I submitted this card to this weeks Whiff of Joy Challenge Blog. The challenge this week was to make a Christmas Card for a boy, and to not use any Blue.
"Oakley with Scooter" is colored with my Distressing Inks and white gel pen. Inked the edge with dark brown matted with the pattern paper and sewed down with a dark green.
The pattern papers are a new collection I just got from K&Company called Christmas Cheer. Love the colors. I decided to use the paper with the large holly, the edges were sewed with a blanket stitch to the same pattern paper as the image mat, but it seemed sad to cover too much of the holly, so I cut out a few of the leaves and slid the matted image underneath. The Sentiment is also from Whiff of Joy and was the perfect size to stamp directly onto the corner of the card.
The only thing that bothered me is that I felt the Holly needed some glitz... it was so flat. So I simply took my Spica clear glitter pen and colored in all of the berries and high-lighted the leaves.
