My SSnotime65 challenge card using 1, 2" wide piece of designer paper. I already had the Copic colored main image, so this was a very quick card. The DP is SU Ski Slope from the holiday mini. I EB the sentiment and added liquid glue and Dazzling Diamonds glitter to the snow on the main image. A couple embellishments to add nice texture and bling to a very simple card. My card format is 5" x 5" square using 110# Papertreyink Premium White CS. The only CS I have found is heavy enough for the main white layer.
Thanks to my friend Nancy Morgan (ncmorgan) for sharing her Copics and Sharon (notimetostamp) for another awesome and simple challenge :-)

Nancy, I love it!!! I am going to have to revert to the 2 inches of DP plan as well. I need so many cards yet, and I hate to admit, but I purchased a beautiful box of 40 cards today. But they ARE beautiful, so that's OK -- LOL!!! I LOVE your colored image -- WOW!!! Now THAT took some time, but to have some colored ahead of time is a WONDERFUL idea!!! Beautiful job on this -- TFS!!!

I like your choice of designer paper with what could be interpreted as either ornaments or Xmas stars--or both! This turned out nice. Good job of coloring---but a quick card only because you had the image colored in advance. That would take me forever.

This is beautiful, Nancy! A quick layout for your very detailed and nicely colored image. It's great to have images like this colored up ahead of time and then find the perfect layout for it. Love it!

Wow--the coloring really does work well. This is nice and simple, but the simplicity puts your focus on the image, which makes your work all the more worthwhile.
Wonderful card, Nancy! I really like your colored image and the red frame makes it stand out! The Ski Slope DP strip is very pretty combined with the white and red!
