Congrats to Emma, the newest Featured Stamper (FS770)! She has a beautiful gallery & after much browsing, I chose THIS card to case. I kept the pencil/Copic on kraft & CAS design, but I used different images & dies & made mine a Christmas card.
I started by stamping the cute snowman & using his matching die to cut out a mask for him out of copy paper. After masking, I stamped the tree behind him & the present in his hand. I used Copics, for the most part, to color everything, but accented the snowman & snow on the ground & tree using a white Prisma pencil. The snowflakes were white embossed so they'd really show up. The greeting was stamped & I used a white gel pen to add the "snow" on top of the letters. This card didn't take much time & since it's flat & all on one layer, it will definitely be mailable.
Thanks so much for looking. It's on my blog w/ Copic colors & links: The Write Stuff

Well your card is very cool along with the cool wishes it offers and the cool images you've used. Love the kraft bg for a Christmas card -- unusual but very festive especially with the fun snowflakes. Fabulous card.

Wonderful masking, pencil coloring, and stamping, Julie. The tree and present make him even cuter! Great case and Christmas card. So precious. Hugz

Just love the cute scene you created and your coloring on Kraft is beautiful! The white accents are spot on. The snow on the top of the letters is a wonderful touch as well!
What a cute card, Julie! I love the snowman with the tiny pocket of candy and of course your coloring! The snow added to the sentiment is such a nice touch!

WoW! I love your CASE! I am so glad you included such detailed descriptions. I have a fear of masking and never thought to use a matching die cut for that! Lightbulb moment! Ha! Your coloring is absolutely beautiful!
