It's time for a new Color Challenge! Holley is hosting and has chosen Real Red, Mossy Meadow and Early Espresso along with a dessert option of sponging. I realized as I was writing up my post here and on my blog that 1) I mistakenly used Cherry Cobbler rather than Real Red (what was I thinking???) and 2) I forgot to add the sponging along then edges for dessert, darn it!
Moving on, I stamped the pinecone background image with Copic friendly ink, colored with Copic markers than added white gouache for snow on the pine cones and heavily splattered for a snowy effect.
I die cut the Merry sentiment plus stamped and die cut the word Christmas then assembled the card.
Thanks so much for looking and I hope you'll join the Color Challenge this week!!

Very pretty Stef. I love the gouache used as the snow; it adds a lot of texture. And I had a chuckle when you said you used the wrong color. That is my biggest fear in color challenges - I'll finish and realize I used the wrong color!
