A big congrats to Kimberly, the newest Featured Stamper! Such a lovely gallery! I chose THIS to case. I kept the layout, but used different colors & images & made mine a Christmas card instead of a birthday card.
After stamping w/ Memento, I colored him using a combination of Copics & Prismacolor pencils. His jacket & bag are mostly pencils & Santa Buford is mostly Copics w/ a white pencil highlight. And since he was still in my Misti, I stamped over him w/ Versafine after I was finished coloring. This really brings back the lines you tend to lose when using Prismacolor pencils. He was die cut & I did my out of the box tech to keep from cutting off his tail.
I put together the 3 pieces of dp to get my bg then added the die cut Merry w/ a few stockings fussy cut from the dp. The bow was die cut from red & I used a small letter J punch to make the candy canes on the bow. The cut glass button was clear & I used a red copic to color it.
Congrats again, Kimberly! Closeups & the inside are on my blog: The Write Stuff

Just as cute as can be, Julie. the things you do with a smaller sized card are amazing. I love that toothy image you've used. A great tribute to Kim for sure.
