I decided to use both images that we had available: Holiday Topiary and Candy Canes with Bow. When I was resizing the topiary image in Pages, I added the candy canes on to the pot and then printed on X-Press It Blending card. I have then coloured the image with the following Copics markers:

• berries - R27, R59, R89, clear Wink of Stella
• trunk - E35, E37, E39

• pot - E11, E13, E15, E18, YR02

• white of candy canes - C0, C1
• background - BV20, BV23, BV25, BV29
• grounding/snow - B000, B91, BV20
• outline - BV25

I trimmed the image with my paper cutter and then adhered it to a white card from Envelope Solutions.

As usual, I have drawn some inspiration from the wonderful Alyce at Kit and Clowder and her awesome Monthly Classes and Bonus Classes.

Here is a close-up of the colouring before and after trimming - you may be able to see some sparkle on the berries on the before photo:

Colour Crazy Challenge for the 29th of July, 2022

Then we have used papers and dies from La-La Land Crafts, including Life Documented Paper Pack, Sun Smiles Die, Three Clouds Die, Under the Sea Die, Seaweed Die, Stitched Scallops Die, Little Fishes Die, Stitched Nested Circles Die and the sentiment label from Left Pocket Die. 

I stamped the sentiment from Turtley Awesome Clear Stamp Set in Nautical Blue Memento ink using my MISTI.
