Today's card is for TCP Tuesday (TCPTUES218) which is a color challenge of Aqua, Red and Kraft selected by our hostess, Lori. I immediately thought of the colors from an older Cosmo Cricket pad Mitten Weather and as a result I now have Christmas in July card number 6 completed.
I stamped last winter's The Cat's Pajamas Peeking set, combining paper piecing and Copic coloring. I attached the image to a tag shape, placing a partial piece cut with the Snowflake Lace Paper CutUps underneath. The white snowflake was leftover from a prior project. I had planned on using a real button at the top but since everything up to that point was flat and mail ready, I decided to go with a paper button instead. That will save me 20 cents in postage!
Christmas Card Tip of the day: A touch of paper piecing combined with coloring adds a lot of interest to an image.
Copics: Bear-E40, E41, E42, R22, R24, R29; Gift-W00, E81, BG0000, G000, G00, BG10; Shadows-BG0000, BG70
