Today we have a super high level colorist as the FS. I am a huge fan of Tracy's work. I have actually tried to replicate some of her coloring techniques (you haven't seen those because they went straight in the trash after I ROTFL). I want every image she uses (except they typically require coloring).
To color up my image by Sandra Caldwell, I used watercolor pencils from SU! and one Copic marker for the boots.
Tracy called hers Season's Greetings and it has a sweet, pretty, happy girl holding a candy cane with lots of reds and happy colors. I changed it up to be Post Season's Greetings and did it all in blues and grays. My Santa looks a bit cold, and I think he may have the flu. Maybe Bronchitis. That is what I have had for weeks and this is about how I felt too. LOL.
Hope you enjoy your day Tracy. I am so glad to see you as the Featured Stamper since I love your cards - especially the Santas, shepards, little kids, pretty girls, zombies, puppies, gophers, zebras, polar bears, kitties, cows, moose, penguins, and raccoons.
This is also for MIX104 - I tried to do it all in blues (95% counts right?).

Oh now this made me chuckle. Here I always thought the Jolly Old Elf headed to Disneyworld after the presents were delivered. Perhaps it was Disneyland and he picked up the measles! In any case, super cute idea and super cute card!
