Merry

This month at Happy Little Stampers CAS we have a Favorite Technique challenge.  For me, it's coloring hands down.  What about you?  Die cutting?  Texture?  Mixed Media?  As long as you can incorporate your favorite technique into a CAS card, please share it with us!  The more the merrier as they say.

For my card I had a very large Penny Black stamp (my guess is by Mo Manning) that would dominate the front of an A2 card.  To make it more CAS I offset the image to look like she's swinging off the card.  Lots of fun movement, fun to color and lots of open space.  The merry diecut took care of the ornament hook dangling in midair.  It's quite a clever solution imo. 

The Details:  Penny Black Little Elf Finn, Memento Tuxedo Black, Stampin' Up Merry die, Simon Says Stitched Rectangle die, Copic R24, 27, 39 (berries), YR21, 27, Y38 (hair), R22, 24, 27, 29, 39 (ornament), 0, N0, T1 (fur), G21, 24, 28 (holly), R02, 22 (lips), E00, 02, 53 (skin), B21, 24, 26, 39 (clothing)

I'm entering this in Addicted to Stamps and More #173 Holiday,  Crafter's Cafe #138 Diecuts or Punches, Penny Black Saturday Dies or Punches,

    What a super cute elf Toni, and if my colouring was nearly as good as yours it would be my favourite technique too! A great design my friend! Have a lovely evening! Hazel xx

    Ahhh Toni you are soooo clever. I love how you have used this stamp. I have the digital images as I am a Mo fanatic. I would never have thought to use like this. She has the cutest face. And the way you used the die cut, just perfect.
