Hello everyone and welcome to my stop on the hop! I’m Sandy, president of OWH, and I’m stoked about our event today! I’ll get down to business quickly so you can get to the other blogs – I used Elf Marci from LaLa Land Crafts. If you’d like to see a tutorial on coloring this image, click on the card to go to the other post with details…it’s a before-and-after Copic lesson!
The sketch I used is this one from DeconstructingJen…click on the sketch to go to the site.
And of COURSE I have blog candy!
LaLa Land sent me these fun halloween stamps; OWH’s deadline has passed, but I want these to get into the hands of someone who can use ‘em this year for your own cards! So leave me a comment today – and come back tomorrow to see another WCD card – and I’ll pick two winners, one from each post – to get one of these cuties!

Amazing coloring as usual Sandy. Your cards always have that awesome POP that makes them extra special. So excited for WCD!!
I love all your tutorials. Red is such a hard color to work with and you make it look so easy.
Absolutely fabulous card. It’s hard to pick what to comment on! I had never thought to layer ribbon. But it really works. And the round shape covered in
bakers twine is just genius! I love the way you shade. Being new to OWH, I am going back and watch OWHtv. I hope to see an episode on shading
Great card Sandy and I have to say that you are one of the best when it comes to copics and coloring. Thanks for sharing.

The coloring is perfection, but that mint created with twine is adorable!
Great card Sandy. Your coloring is amazing. I especially love the way you did her hair! And that mint with the twine – awesome!!
Wow, your coloring on that image is fabulous! and I love the little twine wrapped “candy”!
Sandy, I LOVE your Christmas card. The image is adorable and you did an awesome job with this card.
What a darling card, Sandy. I’m new to using alcohol markers, so to see images colored with them is interesting and helpful. I will check out your Copic coloring videos when I have some free time. Thanks for the idea for the little mint too. How cute!!
Those are adorable Halloween stamps. I love the Christmas card and the way you used the twine! Teena

Marci Elf is cute and your coloring is amazing! Beautiful card Sandy!

Wonderful card! Your coloring is fab and I love that flat pompon!! Super clever!
Gorgeous card! Your coloring is just amazing!
Love this card!!! Really love that image!!! Great work!
Such beautiful coloring, Sandy. Love the twine treatment. (don’t count me in the drawing, thanks. )
Amazing coloring and loved how you used the twine …amazing card thanks for sharing !
Everything about the card is great, but the black border on the red ribbon is brilliant.
What a darling card! Love the sweet image, which you have colored beautifully, and your use of the twine is too much fun…I’ll be casing that idea! Thanks for sharing
Oh Sandy! You’ve outdone yourself yet again– the coloring is spot on and I adore the twine peppermint– super fun! Thank you for running OWH like a well oiled machine!
Love how you did the twine! And those black Pearl Pen dots are just the right touch.
Coloring perfection, cuteness factor turned way up.
Your coloring is always the best!! I hope I don’t win the blog candy. I could NEVER color those images. LOL!!!

Wow, this sketch was right up your alley:)) and wonderful as usual. Love that image and your coloring! Thanks for all your efforts for OWH….hope you are feeling better.
you always do fantastic work on the coloring of images! tfs & all you do with OWH!
Fabulous coloring job as always and that candy embellishment is too cute. Very clever!
Thanks for the coloring tutorial – I absolutely adore the dark haired elf but didn’t think there was anything ‘wrong’ with the light colored elf (until you put them side by side and pointed out the differences). Thanks for a chance at the blog candy.
Love the card!
I love all your cards, and your teaching methods. Coloring is one of the hardest things for me to do, so I don’t do much of it. I like the candy done with twine.
SO cute! I love how she is colored and how you made your own peppermint twist candy!! Hey, maybe one will help you cold!!
Feel better soon!!
I would have never picked that sketch because it looks so complicated. But you have used it perfectly!
I hit send before I was done but here are additional comments. The little elf is so adorable and the colors are so vibrant, I cannot say enough about it. Thank you for sharing your craft with us.
Delightful image & clever use of bakers twine to make a holiday mint!!!
Even with the patterned background paper, this card doesn’t look too ‘busy’… and my eye immediatly goes to the beautiful colored image.
Adorable card! I love that sweet image and your coloring is awesome!!
I am as green (with envy) as Marci when I witness your coloring skills! Crazy good! Always love the OWH blog hops and today is the perfect way for me to get my mojo going to finish up my 1/2 and 1/2 box for Caro. Thanks for the inspiration and motivation for such a great cause! slbuller at fullchannel dot net.
OMGosh, Got here and thought I had died and gone to heaven!!! Another embellisher like me!!! LOLOL
I love your cards. Those little girls are too too cute for words! Thanks for inviting us too!
Sandy Sandy Sandy. You are not allowed to be sick on holidays like this!!! Maybe that’s what you get for staying up so late and partying last night. Tsk tsk tsk.
I love your LaLa land card and stamp candy. I need to invest in some of those some day, that sketch is also great… I love that it includes lots of layers and shapes! Thanks for sharing!
It will be one lucky troop who snags this little treasure
Love everything about your amazing card but the pompom looking embellie is the coolest!
Ok, your coloring is out of this world! I am in awe at how pretty this card is! I love your bg paper and the cute twine swirl….so cute!
Thanks for your comments on my blog. I love how you really got all the elements of the sketch to work together. The coloring is beautiful. Thanks for a chance to win blog candy!
I keep telling my hubby I need more copic markers. I want to color with the big girls!!! Love your attention to details. Thanks for the chance to win blog candy and thanks for starting OWH. From a military mom
Adorable with a capital A! I especially love how you used the ribbon on this card, and your coloring skills always amaze me!
wow, is that an amazing use of bakers twine to make the mint! and your ribbon treatment is innovative and looks great!
I am amazed at how much you accomplish in a day! You give so much to everyone – thank you.
She is a beautiful elf and I love your bow at the bottom.
The twine candy embellishment is so cute! Happy World Cardmaking Day and thank you for all that you do!!!
-Mindy H.
I love how you make what seems (at least to me) a very complicated sketch look so classic and UNcomplicated.
aak! It’s World Cardmaking Day and I haven’t made a card yet! I have a 1/2 hour left(at least on this coast!) Off to make some cards befor the day ends!
As usual, you set the standard high Sandy! I love the repetition of the red and white theme in the image, twine and patterned paper – so put together!
Wow, Sandy! Elf Marcie is so beautiful I feel I could reach out and touch her! Love the ribbon banners and the sketch from Deconstructed Sketches.
Beautiful Card! I like the use of Glossy Accent and your coloring is beautiful. TFS AJ-
Beautiful card!! Your coloring is fabulous!!
Hi Sandy, this is so adorable! Darling image and wonderful coloring! So joyful!
Sandy,
I agree with everyone — your coloring is, as always, amazing. But, the mint is a touch of genius!
OMG your card is just gorgeous! That little elf is too darn cute! I adore her. Thanks so much for the Copics tutorial!
Sandy your before and after tutorial are very helpful. Lets me see the different ways to do a project and make it look better. I really like both cards but can see the difference now. Thanks
Love your Marci! I learned a lot from the coloring tutorial, too, about how to direct the eye to what you want it to focus on by using different colors and about how to color to get that shiny light bounce effect (like on the candy cane).
Sandy, your card is wonderful! I love the coloring and I’m particularly pining for your twining! Your use of twine is such an asset to your card! Thanks for all you do every day for OWH and I hope you get to feeling better soon!
Sandy, I love how Marci pops on the white background and the extra touch that the Glossy Accents adds. Enjoyed your coloring tutorial. I always learn soooo much. Thanks for sharing and all you do for OWH.
Your elf is adorable and colored to perfection! I love the twine candy you made that is just too creative. Love that idea! So many amazing cards on the blog hop!
As always, your coloring and cards are stunning. One day, I hope to color like a pro! Thanks for sharing and I hope you are feeling better soon!
Very Cute image! Beautiful card. I love what you did with the twine on the circle and the ribbon too!
Sandy she is adorable and I love the vibrant colors! You fooled me on the peppermint…I thought it was a rosette but I knew you weren’t a fan of those for mailing purposes so I had another glance! Super cute idea to use twine for the same effect! Especially like the layered black and red ribbons ~ Fantastic job!
You’re coloring technique is yummy-makes it so 3D looking! I’ll be scraplifting some ideas of this adorable card including the twine ‘snowflake’ and matting the ribbon-never thought about that, but it really makes it pop. Gracias for all you do for OWH and supporting our heroes…from a grateful blessed Navy wife!
Amazing coloring, it looks 3D ! I really like that little embellishment made of twine, thanks for sharing =)
I love your tutorials on coloring. They are always such a delight to watch. I learn from them too. You are very helpful and informative in your explanations and direction… thanks
What a fun card. I love the little elf.
Great coloring and layout. I like your use of twine.
Super cute, Sandy! I love how you used baker’s twine to create a little peppermint twist! Thanks for all you do
Your cards are always amazing…like the round twine embellishment…I def need to try that.
