Such lovely choices for the Color Challenge today! Too many choices make my brain freeze. I sat there for a good long time..thinking of all the things I wanted to do w/ all the colors. I almost didn't get ANY of them made. Just one. This one. Hopefully I'll get to use more colors during the week. I chose Mary's colors for this one & I really wanted to add some green & red for the holly but I resisted. I guess my dessert would be the stickles I used on them.
I stamped the dove, added just a little gray shading to it, masked it, then sponged on the color for the bg. I used a few Copics to deepen the color & fill in any blank spots. Cut a few layers, die cut half of the greeting & added some gray snowflakes under the layers.
Thanks so much for looking. It's on my blog w/ closeups & Copic colors: The Write Stuff
