I have a confession to make...when I first joined SU! this set was one of the first sets I sold, and it was one of the last ones I bought for myself before I left....and I only assembled it yesterday! I felt like something a bit different with so much Christmas going on, and this one just popped off the shelf at me.
The paper is from the 'old' stash I found and the inspiration for the colours I have used. The sketch is from Taylored Expressions, so be sure to pop across and take a look at everyones submissions.
All the images were coloured using the Copic markers that I have, with the main image then coated using my Versamark pen and clear ep, just to make it really stand out. They were stamped using Palette Burnt Umber ink which you will find at TLOCS.
The cardstock Is Always Artichoke, Elegant Eggplant and very Vanilla from Stampin' Up! and the edges have been sponged using the matching inks.
My Spellbinders Classic Rectangles and Squares were used once again to give the crisp lines to the images.
I so enjoyed using this seat, as I knew I would, the detail is just amazing.
Have a wonderful Monday, and I hope to be back tomorrow with a Tutorial Tuesday.
This is just beautiful. So well put together.

Oh my goodness, what an "outstanding" card. I can't believe you actually coloured these pictures is as they look like stickers to me. The detail to the work is unbelievable. I'd frame this card.

I've been wanting that set from the beginning too and it still hasn't made it off my wishlist - there just always seems to be others I want more! I love what you did with it.
