Small Town Season's Greetings

 Hello friends.  I have another card made with the Season Of Giving digital stamps from Sweet November Stamps.  I am having just the best time coloring these little friends.  

When I first started working on this card, I had printed two copies.  The first copy that I worked on, I colored in most of the characters but was really struggling to figure out a good background.  Then I had the crazy idea of making the building front brick. I didn't like my first attempt, so I used my second copy and started with the background first.  I found this a lot easier to select the colors for the clothing on my little family and bell ringer.  I used a ruler and a pencil to draw in my bricks.  I like the way it turned out.  

I used Copic Markers for my coloring in the following colors:

• E41, E42, E43 - Awning
• E08, E09 - Brick
• C5 - Mortar
• N1, N2, N4 - Window Trim
• B0000- Window
• G21, YG63, G94 - Garland
• B0000 - Window
• C0, C1, C3 - Beard
• B34, B97, B99 - Jeans
• E33, E35, E39 - Shoes & Purse
• E000, E00, E11, E21 - Skin
• RV11, RV32, RV93 - Little Girl’s Coat
• YR30, E60, E51 - Little Girl’s Scarf & Hat
• Y21, Y15, YR23 - Hair, Packages
• YR23, Y26 - Bell, Coins
• BV11, V25M V28 - Mom’s Coat
• BV000, BV01, BV11 - Mom’s Hat, Scarf, Coat Trim
• W0, W2, W4 - Sidewalk

Once I had my scene colored, I cut it down to 5.25" x 4.0".  I adhered it to a piece of cardstock cut to 5.5" x 4.25 and then adhered it to a card base.

I love the way this card turned out.  It reminds me of shopping is a small town for Christmas.

Thank you so much fro stopping by today!
