Christmas card: Santa flying in winter skies

October 1, 2018 by Sandy Allnock 16 Comments Filed Under: Copic Intermediate, Holiday Backgrounds

In which Underwater Scenes (kelp) become a wintry scene! It’s also related to a scene in Winter Wonderland…more trees, more drama, more color. You don’t have to take classes, of course, but I do like to let new subscribers know there’s more in-depth teaching available, as well as letting students see a way to apply what they’ve learned.

Video

Watch the video below or click HERE to see it in HD on YouTube.

This little bear is wearing a plaid scarf (because who wouldn’t, if they were a bear in the woods?) and sitting amid the “Misty Mountains” lesson from Autumn Scenes class. I know it’s a tough background but I haven’t seen many people posting this background! 

This is a fall-ish version of the winter card, but instead of a road, the black bears are snuggled into a clearing in the forest. And…bird watching. Because bears do that, right?

    These cards are really gorgeous. Do you also have a video tutorial with the fall scenes ? And could you tell me which copics you used for the fall cards? Thank you.

    Oh my gosh….the winter scene watching Santa in the sky…unbelievable! Beautiful…now I wish I could color and create like that.
    Just mind blowing that this is something someone created from stamps and markers.
    My next big expensive purchase….copic markers!
    Thank you for showing us your creativity!

    Wicked cards ! Gorgeous effects for all those seasons, thank you for this video. Sandy, do you know of any list/ chart that gives comparisons of Copic colours/ numbers to Promarker colours/ numbers at all. I am already to start the Copic jumpstart class ( also run by Sandy folks) but having hard time comparing blobs of colours on screen together, anyone help!

      Hi,

      I’m dealing with the same problem. I have the full promarker set but miss some essential colours.
      There are some comparison sheets available, but they’re not precise enough, according to me
      I’m now working on my own sheet, started a few days ago….
      Regards,
      Kiki

      Sorry, I would have to purchase another set of markers to even try doing this kind of thing. (Anyone would have to have both sets, which is likely why no one has done this.)

    Although I don’t have copic markers, I constantly learn from your videos. What you do is always awesome. When I saw your post comming in on my email I thought the trees where stamps!! Thank you so much Sandy for all your teaching and inspiration.

    When first viewed, there is no doubt that this is a “snowy” background – then you start layering in all those dark blues… and miraculously, it still looks like snow! Also, I took the winter scenes and city sidewalks classes last fall, so thank you for continuing to give examples of different ways to use those backgrounds.
