This card is my DT entry for The Holly and the Ivy Christmas Challenge. It is an Anything Christmas Goes challenge. The image I used for today's card is from Aurora Wings. For the first time in nine years I did not use Copics. This image was colored with Prismacolor pencils and mineral spirits. I definitely don't like the results as well as I do Copics, but it is something different. I will be taking some pencil classes from Kit & Clowder as soon as I make the time. I thought it would be good to have something that shows how I colored before taking the class for comparison.
I am entering this card in the following challenges:
Digi Choosday - Anything Goes
Show Us Your Pussycats - Furrything Goes
Stinkin' Inkers - Lovely as a Tree
2 Crafty Critter Crazies - Anything Goes with a Critter
Ching-Chou Kuik - Dogs or Cats
