Merry Monday Vixen

Merry Monday this week has a Tic Tac Toe challenge...


I chose Dry Embossing, Colour with Markers, and Red and Green.  Or I could say Clean and Simple, Colour with Markers and White since there's lots of white.  See what you think.


I found this stamp on sale just before Christmas and just couldn't resist spending the $2.00.

I had bought some Copic Markers a while back after seeing so many beautifully colored images done with them. I finally took them out to try and I had so much fun!  I found inspiration for coloring this image by Jenny Group.  (Have you ever bought a stamp that you loved but then had no idea what to do with it?  This was one of those stamps for me.)

I'm a long way from doing large images, but I'm not scared of the markers anymore.  In fact I can't wait to try some more!

Sarn is having her first Rudolph Day Challenge of 2013.  We have until the last day of the month to submit one festive Christmas entry.  I think I'll go over and join that party too since Vixen is dressed so festively!

All supplies are Stampin' Up! unless otherwise noted

Card Recipe
Stamps:  Vixen (Hampton Art)
Ink:  Memento Tuxedo Black, Copic Markers
Paper:  Whisper Whtie, Real Red
Other:  Square Lattice EF, Shiny Stickers (Starform)

I've seen what the other designers have done  for Merry Monday and I think you'll enjoy checking out their cards.


Now, don't you want to get a head start on those Christmas cards? 

Thanks so much for stopping by.

Enjoy!

    Hi Bonnie . . . WOW, I'm not at all surprised your forked out $2 for the stamp. Your colouring with the marker pens is totally brilliant and the little reindeer rectangle makes a great focal point on your card.

    Thanks for joning in with Rudolph Day.

    Hugs

    Good for you, trying out those Copics! They do take a certain amount of practice, and they are different from the SU markers! Your image is lovely and I think it is set off nicely by the white embossed background!

    Fabulous card, image looks brilliant against the white embossing, great colouring.
    Yes, every stamp I buy I seem to love it then struggle with how to use it.
