A Christmas card for the Make it Monday #260 - From Black and White to Color. An interesting technique. I stamped the sentiment in red on a white card. Red ink and I do not get along so I stamped the sentiment first just in case I messed up the red ink and needed to do another. Then I stamped the happy greeting on the inside. There you will see a little red blotch. Oh well.
Then I stamped the images in black on the remaining area of the white piece. The next step was to cut a small piece of the images off the card and set it aside - not coloring it but leaving the images in black and white. Using my Copics I colored the green leaves and red berries on the larger piece. Both pieces were then adhered to the green striped background card. Red and white baker's twine adedd the final touch.
I love these Christmas colors. My mind is already racing with ideas for more cards.
