The sketch today was a bit challenging for me. I just have a hard time tilting things when the rest of the card is level. The tilt of the one thing makes it look crooked to me. Maybe I'll just make it all tilted next time so it won't look off.
Anyway, I colored this pretty holly wreath w/ Copics then did an out of the box Nestie technique using a square die. I used the next larger square to cut the dk red layer behind it and a large corner die for the titled layer. The large green layer is dp & the narrower green layer is a piece I made while doing the No Gel Plate, No Problem tutorial. (I also did a similar Mono Printing Tutorial here on SCS). I used a scallop border die on the bottom of it and attached a leafy flourish on top. The greeting was stamped directly on the 4.25 x 5.50 card front. Copics used: 0, C1, C3, G00, G05, G16, G29, R20, R24, R29, R39, BG02

My DH does not like tilted panels either, Julie! I think you came up with quite a creative way to use this sketch, what a beauty for the tilted panel! Your wreath is gorgeous! Awesome Christmas card~

Your coloring, shading and out of the box technique give so much dimension to your wreath that I was sure that you'd fussy cut it! Love the pretty die cut tilted behind it too!
