Mint Christmas

Hello friends! Today I am here to show you my first project for September for Jan's Digital Stamp Shop Challenge Blog. This one is colored with my pencils and resulted in quite a flat card.

Using the Peppermint Santa stamp set (linked below), I printed the digital stamp and sentiment out onto Canson C a grain paper and colored them with my Prismacolor colored pencils. I opted to go with a green candy cane so that not everything would be red and also because mint is green, in my opinion. I also tried a new red combo on Santa's suit and I love the richness of it. It is Tuscan Red, Scarlet Lake and Permanent Red.

Once I had colored the image, I cut the panel down to 3.75x5 inches and matted it onto a piece of green cardstock measuring 4x5.25 inches. I then added the cardpanel to a kraft cardbase. This one is easy to mail.

I would like to invite you to join us at the new "Anything Goes" challenge at Jan's Digital Stamp Shop Challenge Blog. The challenge goes for the whole month and if you use one of Jan's images, you have a second chance to win a prize.
