Hi All!

Welcome to my post about my card for challenge #209, the 2nd of July 2023 challenge for the Lil Patch of Crafty Friends Challenge Blog.

Here is my completed card:

I also took a photo of the card flat - as I was waiting for the glitter to dry!

I chose to use Snowflake the Reindeer Gnome, so I have digitally printed the image on to X-Press It Blending card and then coloured with the following Copics markers:

• gnome nose - E000, E00, E11, R20
• red - R22, R24, R39
• green - G03, G05, G28
• white - C00, C0, C1, C3
• pants - C1, C3, C5
• shoes - C5, C7, C9, white gel pen
• reindeer antlers - E84, E87, E89
• snowflakes - B0000, B000, clear Wink of Stella
• ground - W00, W0, W1, W3
• sky - V01, B0000, B000, B12, B14, B16, B18, white gel pen
• outline - B18

I have cut out the image using my paper cutter and adhered it to a white card from Envelope Solutions.

As usual, I have taken inspiration from the wonderful Alyce at Kit and Clowder and her fantastic monthly classes and bonus classes.

Here are a couple of photos close-up of the colouring before I adhered it to the card:
