Dr. Digi Selfie Santa Christmas

Happy Sunday, fellow bloggers! Today I'm sharing another Christmas card featuring a Dr. Digi's House of Stamps image called Selfie Santa and attempting a monochrome ruby red color scheme for the August Rainbow Card Challenge, with some shimmer and shine..

Paper: Recollections Heavy Card Stock, DCWV Foiled Card Stock, The Paper Studio 12 Days of Christmas Paper Collection, Doodlebug paper ric-rac
Dies: Spellbinders Square Card Matting Basics, Classic Ovals
Inks: Printer, ProMarkers, Gel Pens, Wink of Stella glitter ink
Image: Dr. Digi digital
Other: Corner Rounder, Big Shot, Computer

I've used the current sketch at TMS, resizing to 5x7 in PSE.

A really simple card, especially for me! The challenging part was the color scheme, but I'm very happy with the results. I had to make the snowman's nose carrot-y, but I used a reddish orange.

Here's a close-up to try to show all of the shimmer and shine. I colored the ground snow and the snowman with clear Wink of Stella. I used various Sakura metallic and glitter gelpens on buttons, berries, the iphone, and to make sky snow along with a white gel pen.

Thanks for visiting! Hope you have a gloriously good week! Stay well and safe! XOX

A fantastic Christmas card. Your background paper is lovely. Your santa and snowman are so very cute. Taking a selfie is funny. Nice colouring. The grey in the beard looks good. Have a great day! Bethie

A very "cool" card with the Sant and snowman. I love the tag idea as it focuses attention on the image. Nicely done :)
