'Tis The Season

Good morning!  Happy Friday! Hope you've had a good week!  The weekend is nearly upon us and for those that celebrate, I wish you a wonderful Easter!  It's going to be a busy day and weekend, but before getting into all that, I am here to share my DT card for this week's Copic/ProMarker Challenge at The Outlawz site.  The theme this time is the ever-popular "anything goes" and as we've done every week this year, we are offering up a Christmas twist for those that want to get a jumpstart on their Christmas cards.  Please remember that your project must have some coloring with alcohol markers (any brand).

Here is my card:


Given the predicament I found myself in last Christmas, I am definitely taking advantage of the Christmas twist. My card base and mats are SU Gumball Green and the patterned papers are from the Recollections Festivus and Bright Christmas 6x6 pads.  The adorable image is Little Elf Mim from Mo's Digital Pencil.  I printed it on Make it Colour Blending Card and colored it with my Copics.  I added some shine to the silver accents with my Silver Spica pen.   The sentiment was cut out in pieces from the patterned paper.  A dimensional sticker from my stash and some "pearls" around the frame made with my Viva Decor Ice White Pearl Pen finished my card.

Here is a close-up of the image:


Thanks for stopping by!  Be sure to check out Copic/ProMarker Challenge and feast your eyes on the fantastic creations from the rest of the DT!  I know you will be inspired to play along!  Besides, there are always awesome prizes up for grabs when you enter the challenges at The Outlawz!

I am entering my card in the following challenges:
Mo's DP2 Challenge # 178 (ABC - E is for ... elf)
Tuesday Morning Sketches#191 (sketch)
Through The Craftroom Door Challenge (anything goes)

Here is TMS-191:



Have a great day and weekend and see you again soon!
