Cosie's Creative Corner

Have a Beaut Chrissie The topic for this weeks colour challenge was hats. I choose this Aussie Santa  digi from Make it Crafty as he has a hat on and it means another Christmas card to tick of the list. The digi images that make up the scene are also from and they are so much fun to work with. The gum leaves are an old Stamp-it rubber stamp that I coloured and cut out. The PP is from the Kaiser Base Coat 6 x 6 pad and it is mounted on a black card base also from Kaiser. The scene is coloured with copics and I used some tumbled glass and tea dye distress inks around the edge for a bit more colour. Copics: Skin: E11,13,R02 Beard: W1,5,7. T/Shirt: R46,59. Shorts: C5,9. Hat: E40,47,49,71. Thongs: W5,9. Sunnies: BG0000. Beer can: G09,N1. Tree: BG93,G94,E49,71. Gum leaves: BG93,G94. Fence posts: E71,74,79. Ground: YR21,E31,33,35,E09,18,19. Grass: G94,95. Sky: B0000.

I am not sure if I like it and it is definitely different to my normal colouring but you have to try things and I couldn't waste it. I printed it four times then coloured, fussy cut and layered it on PP to keep the monochromatic feel. The sentiment and heading I found on Pinterest and the pile of books with the cats I have had for a couple of years and finely found a use for them. They were all  fussy cut and I used mounting tape to adhere it all onto the card. Used copics and the border punch is from SU. I took a close-up (forgot when I took the card) to show the layers but the colour is not right. Copics:  Book: E13,17,18,19. Dress: E00.04,40,41,43,93,95. Hair: E18,47. Skin: E000,02. Added ...
