....of the Season! Yes...it is another Christmas card! I am excited that my pile is growing slowly but surely! I was rumaging around in my retired stamp sets and came across my beloved "Winter is Calling" set from SU! I love this set and will never part with it. I have used it every year since I got it. The large panel on today's sketch made this image the perfect fit. I did cheat a bit, not on purpose, but I accidentally stamped the image too close to the bottom of the cardstock, colored it and then realized that I needed to have a panel go across the bottom, hence the popped focal image.
I colored the image with a combo of Copic and Prismacolor markers. I really need to buy a few more colors so that I can blend better, but I think it turned out okay. Of course I had to add a little liquid applique to the coat trim and hats. I really liked how the glitter stuck to the puffed applique for a frosty, vintage feel.
I punched the snowflakes using my Martha Stewart punch, added some adhesive pearls and popped them up with foam squares. I added a few other little details for interest and called it good. I am actually supposed to be at my Church's "Super Saturday" craft activity in 6 minutes, so I better dash!

Gorgeous and fun, Kelly...I love the Victorian flair to this one!
Oh my goodness, Kelly, this couldn't get any sweeter! Such a charming image, and your design is fabulous!
Ah, Kelly! How I have missed your blog! Your new banner is to die for as usual! Can't stare at it long enough nor at this card long enough. I love what you have done with that SU set. It reminds me of other divinely delicious vintage cards you have made. Love it, love you, love everything you do!!!!
What a beautiful card, love the vintage look and the rich colors. A great job!

Oh I love it! The image is beuatiful and your coloring is fabulous as always! :)
What a darling card! I love that vintage image!
Kelly,
Your love of this set spilled over to me. I bought it off of ebay (I would have bought it from SU but it was offered before I got into stamping) I have had it for a couple of years. Like you, I will never part with it. Thank you for your inspiring creations.

I love this set, too! Your cards are just so sweet. I think I'm inspired to get my set out now and play. Thanks for the inspiration!

This is absolutely gorgeous. Great job!!! I just love your work and wish I had the same eye for adding things that you do.
This is just adorable. Isn't it fun to have a favorite old stamp? Your coloring looks just great.

Absolutely beautiful! That is one of my favorite stamp sets, too. Such cute images.
