Can you believe it's October already??? Where did the year go.....and it's time for Christmas cards again. But that's a fun and easy chore with the super cute holiday images from Whimsy Stamps! Click here to go shopping if you haven't yet already.
On my card today I am showcasing one of the newly released Marina Fedotova Christmas fairies -
NEW Christmas Sprite. Isn't she adorable? She is definitely one of my favorites from this release!
I colored
Christmas Sprite primarily with Copics but added some details with pencils afterwards (a list of all Copics and pencils used is below). I kept the card simple. I didn't want to draw the attention away from this sweet image. Besides some snowflakes made with
Nuvo Crystal Drops Simply White I only added 3 die cut evergreen trees. I thought they complement the image perfectly. They were die cut using the
NEW Evergreen Tree Dies Set by Crissy Armstrong. These trees are
awesome and so super versatile. I love the style and that they do not have too many details which makes them perfect for CAS cards! This is a set of 4 different dies, to create 4 different tree shapes. The sentiment is from the
NEW You're My Jolly sentiment set.
