Holly Bear Christmas

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

My friend Michele recently shared some Christmas images for me

to play with.  This one tugged at my heart.

This one was on Neenah cardstock so I pulled out my Copics and smiled the whole

time I was coloring.

I stuck to traditional colors and used a pierced snowflake background behind the

design piece. I had trouble figuring out where to put the sentiment and ended up using

it as a tag and popping it up in the corner.

I had so much fun with it that I colored another.

This time I used a more non-traditional color for his scarf and added some

dots with a white gel pen.

I cut around the top holly leaves before I die cut the image so the

leaves would be outside the die cutting.

This sentiment is again popped up and one that I pressed when Michele 

came to visit.

Thank you for sending me an envelope of fun, my friend.  I'm looking forward

to coloring up the rest of them. My friend Michele is Guest Designer at the

Penny Black Saturday Challenge this month. Do check out the challenge and

 see the scene she created.
