There is a new challenge up over at 52 Christmas Card Throwdown.  This week the challenge focuses on a technique, and much to my delight…it is coloring!!!

I stamped out a little scene using some Neat and Tangled retired holiday stamps.  This scene involved a little masking, but was otherwise pretty simple.

I then added a quick sketch behind the background, to finish off the scene.

Then using my copics, I started the coloring.  I try to always nail down the main focal images first, so that I don’t over power things in the background.

The real powder to this card is the white gel pen that created the snowflakes and the snow on the trees.

I really can’t wait to see what you do with this fun coloring technique challenge!  Until then, Happy Crafting!
