Copic color a close-up Christmas tree scene

October 28, 2016 by Sandy Allnock 17 Comments Filed Under: Copic Intermediate, Holiday Backgrounds Tagged With: pets

You might have guessed I couldn’t resist a stamp set with a dog AND a cat in it, right? Happy Howlidays is a cute little set with sweet little sentiments for dog and cat cards. And I’m adding another to my Holiday Backgrounds series, I hope you enjoy it!

To finish off the card, I trimmed the colored panel to 4″ wide x 5-1/2″ tall, and popped it using foam tape. I tied a piece of ribbon around it and added a sentiment on a circle. Done! Supplies below.

    I don’t usually comment, but I wanted you to know how much I enjoy watching your videos, Sandy! I always learn something, which means a lot to me! This card is really adorable and I’m always in awe of the dimension you’re able to achieve on your cards. Thanks for doing what you do 🙂

    I am amazed at this card… was convinced that you had added glossy accents over the ornament, the effect of your coloring is surprising & a big “wow factor”. Love the card & the beautiful background. Thank you Sandy!

    Cute card. The white gel pen does change the look of the card. Love it. Great tip on making the critters look like they are in the air. TFS

    I thought for sure you had added glossy accents over the ornament – shows what the highlight (and the weird shape like a reflection) adds to the coloring. Such a cute card!

    So cute. It amazes me how just some ficking in the background really tricks the eye its pine trees. I also appreciate the highlight tip (stamp lines) making a big difference with the gel pen. Also, your bow is spot on-GREAT job. Looking forward to more backgrounds and definitely the xmas tags.
