Hi all! Today I have a very cute art card using one of Rick St. Dennis’s Christmas digital image, “Christmas Dress,” available at I Brake for Stamps (IBFS). If you are one of those that just have to get your rubber stamps out to feel the thrill (I know that I am), you can also find her in a single rubber stamp or in a sheet of four amazing rubber stamps.
I printed Christmas Dress out twice and colored both images
with Copics and added some sparkle with Spica pens in blue, yellow, and red. I
kept everything in traditional Christmas colors, which I love. After the
coloring, I fussy cut both images, but one image I fussy cut out just the
little girl. Assembled these two and layered on Stampin’ Up!’s cardstock in
Cherry Cobbler and Old Olive. The designer paper is Echo Park’s collection from
Carta Bella “So this is Christmas.”
Copics used:
Skin: E000, 00, 11, R02
Hair: E21, 26, 37, 50, YR27
Dress: R81, 83, 85, 89
Trees: G40, 82, 94, 99
Ornaments: Rs above, Y23, 26, 28, and
B91, 93, 95, 97, 99
Planters: E42, 43, 44, 47, 49
I used Spellbinder’s Holly Motifs dies and cut the motifs from Old Olive cardstock. After doing the final assembly for the whole card I added some sparkle with Red Wink of Stella brush markers. I added a few red and green crystals and I think she's ready to show off her new Christmas dress.
Challenges that I would like to enter are:
2 Sister's Challenge - Christmas Sparkle
Krafy Hands Challenge - Traditional Christmas Colors
Sweet Stampin' - Christmas

I'm blown away by your artwork! Not only is your beautiful coloring sheer perfection, but to find out you fussy cut that image twice! I'm amazed. The added detail of the swirls in the background give just the right touch. You are a true artist!
