Well, I finally got around to inking up this adorable little stamp, Little Santa Claws, by Chrissy Armstrong. I've coloured with copics, and tried to give the fur some texture with blender ink....but I think I need more practice. The DP all came from my collection of scraps, and all edges are finished with DI and gold metallic pen. The Romantic Rectangles die has been used to cut out the image, and Lacey Ovals for the sentiment (both from Spellbinders). I had a bit of fun doodling too, along the bottom edge and on the swirl, again with gold to go with the ribbon and paper candy bits.
It is definitely more relaxing, making a Christmas card in July.....maybe I'll go ahead and make a few more. So, Merry Christmas....it will be here before you know it! Have a great day!
Some challenges....with lots more inspiration:

This image is just so adorable -those big eyes really get to me. I think you did a terrific job on your coloring. I love that romantic die (have to get that one soon). The gold accents on your cards really help to make your image pop. Enjoy your week.
