Hi Peeps! I have another Christmas card (obviously!) to share today! I have music notes on the gold background paper, which I used to join in the Ways To Use It challenge for this week, to have music notes somewhere on your card. Done! I also joined in the Sketch challenge for this week, although I had to tweak it a bit, in order to fit this design.
I hand coloured the cat image with Copics and then followed up with Prismacolour pencils over parts of it. I made the bokeh background by dropping bits of Copic refill ink onto the area around the cat. The main image panel has ink distressing around the outer edges as well.
The candy cane is a discontinued (pout) die from Whimsy Stamps. I first printed the sentiment and then cut it out with the candy cane die, then coloured in the stripes (Copic/Prisma combination).
Thank you so much for looking today and enjoy this cool weather!

Fun layout and cute card, Crissy. Beautiful coloring, the highlights on the hat are perfectly done! Clever to create a bokeh with the refill ink. Thanks for playing in my challenge and celebrating the beauty of music.

Your colouring is always incredible - that hat looks like the softest, silkiest satin. Amazing DP, too - the red strip also looks like real fabric. Great work with the soft bokeh background, ite's beautiful

Oh, Crissy! It's a double-header (but really a triple-header with your coloring). So beautiful and amazing depth. I love this sweet kitty, and what darling DP! You are amazing, my friend, and it's always a joy to see your cards here at SCS!! Hugs and love! xoxo
