I know it looks like I brayered a background but I actually stamped the Thomas Kinkade image (Cornish Heritage Farms) first. I then used my Copics in varying tones and blending, decreasing the colour as I moved upwards. I then added white Sakura souffle pen for snow highlights.
I still thought it looked garish and decided to mount on black. The background is one of the new release backgrounders from CHF "dotted diamonds" stamped in Brilliance white.
The only orange ribbon I could find was printed Halloweed twill!! I turned it over and stamped the sentiment (from Kim Hughes Christmas Cheer set at CHF).
The hat pin started life pearl but I coloured it with my orange copic and added some thin copper wire.
