Ho Ho Ho! Copic and Cricut Card

Ok I have to say . . .  I am pretty proud of this card.  This is my second time using my Copics and I think I did a pretty good job. I added so many details to really make this stand out!  Today I am sharing this card with the readers at She's A Sassy Lady as their Guest Designer. I am also participating at Wacky Wednesday with Paula More Than Favors and with Meriah at Tattered Time. This week's theme is BBB- Buttons Bling and/or Brads.

I started my stamping the Santa image from Stampendous.

 I colored it using these Copics.

I trimmed away the excess and add lots of details to the image to really make it stand out.  I used Liquid Applique on his beard.  I did a spiraling motion to make it look curly. I added Stickles to his button and buckle. I use Copic Opaque White for the gloves.

 I used Polar White Flower Soft for the trim on his suit and hat.

 These extra steps really make the image look more realistic.

 While all my embellishing dried, I made the card base into an A2.  The cardstock was covered with Bo Bunny patterned paper.

 I then cut 3 layers of these top note shape from Cricut CTMH Art Philosophy cartridge.  Each was cut in increments of .30 inches.

Then using pop dots, I added the layers together and the Santa on top.

Next I stamped this sentiment from Pink By Design Old Time Christmas in Festive Berries, the new Tim Holtz Seasonal Distress Ink. I then sprinkled red enamel embossing powder on top and heat set it.

I punched holes on the edges and tied some sheer ribbon.

I assembled the card.

Finally I added some bling on the sides with my IRock from Imaginesce.

I love this card!
