I've had this cute Rudolph stamp by Penny Johnson for Stampavie for some time, but I've only just got around to colouring him in. I've used my Copics: the E40 - E49 for Rudolph and the birds, RV32, 34 and 17 for the pinks, YG00, 03 and 17 for the greens and a little B60 for the shadow along with an old B60 pen I topped up with blending solution so it's now a very pale version of the original.
And here's the card. I've used another of the old Papermania papers and added the white faux stitches around the edge then matted with dark brown cardstock. The ribbon is from my stash and to embellish I simply punched out lots of poinsettias with my different sizes of Nellies Choice punches and added the centres with my Wacco pearl maker pen in pale amber.I've been looking around the challenge blogs, and found the Corrosive Challenge blog theme is for funny or punny creations, hope decorating Rudloph counts! Divas by Design have a Christmas in August theme, and I found a new to me blog called Crafting When We Can with a do it your way theme, so I'll enter with them too.
And I nearly forgot the Stampavie and More challenge which is for Christmas - just made it!

Gorgeous card, love that image and i'm in awe of your colouring
ReplyDeleteThank you for joining our 1st challenge on CWWC
I like your brown matting to tie in with the colour of Rudolph & the patterned paper to tie in with his nose - what an unusual image but your compositiion really brings it all together with your colouring. Delightful poinsettias too - especially the way they echo the snowflakes in the paper.
