Come join our Challenge this week~ make your own background with your main image stamp!
Check out the details here
this image is a front and back from Art Impressions. I used both images and stamped around the edges of the card, each panel is edged in black using a cork backed ruler and a marker. this is a great way to get a finished edge without adding the weight of another piece of paper.
the tree is cut apart in sections, sponge the edges with olive ink then using a fine artist pen doodle around each piece, assemble each layer with mounting tape, and decorate as you like.
my coloring is gamsol/prisma pencils.
thanks for taking a look~ have the best day!

This cute Christmas card is just oozing with creativity, Judy-kins. Your coloring is always magnificent, of course, and I especially love how you cut the tree in sections for dimension. The doodling on those sections is a great way to create extra visual interest. I don't know why, but the Fanny image stamped in black and white in the bg made me think of Scrooge and the ghosts of Christmas past and present. Maybe it's that stocking cap she's wearing. LOL!
