Warm and Cozy Christmas!

Here's a warm and cozy Christmas card for you to enjoy!




This card features one of my favorite Christmas images by DRS Designs. There's so much that can be done with this image! For this card, I colored it with pencils--no Gamsol this time! I just layered and layered the different colors until I blended them into the colors I wanted. I did use some gray Copic markers to shade the Hurricane glass and then covered it with Diamond Glaze to create the appearance that it was really glass. I added some Xmas Red Stickles to the holly berries and used the 'Small Merry Christmas' sentiment that was in the last stamp release.
