Pink and Main Crafting of Hue

 Hello, crafty friends! Welcome to my blog!

Today I want to share with you a card I created using one of the super cute images by Pink and Main!  Christmas is just around the corner and I loved creating this wintery scene.

As always I used my beloved Copic markers to color this image and a bit of glitter to add some Christmas shine to the scene.


Copic Markers

Ice
B000, C1

Bear
C3, C1

Scarf
R29, R27, R24

That is it! Not too much coloring involved on this card.  I used a snowflake pattern embossing folder for the  background and used some glitter glue to add some interest.
