Jolly lights

Finally, a gorgeous fall day in MN! Still a bit windy, plus a few snowflakes this morning but nice & sunny now. Here's my coloring for today:

Supplies: Paper - Paper Studio A2 card;

Neenah Classic Crest Solar White

Stamps - Hero Arts Jolly (retired)

Dies - Hero Arts Christmas Lights Border;

Lawn Fawn Mini Snowflakes

Other - Copic Markers; Distress Ink & ep;

Hero Arts clear lacquer; Michael's gem

Day 6 of Kathy's (The Daily Marker) current Coloring Challenge and I chose to color a holiday die cut I recently got from Hero Arts. I used Copic Markers (see photo below of the colors) - 4 lights each of 7 color families, plus a bit of grey & a green frame and wires. The biggest pain was cutting this detailed image; even using a metal shim I needed 6 passes to cut the 110 lb cardstock! Color the light frame and added to an A2 card (sort of a minty color) which I had stamped & embossed the word JOLLY (see - I said I'd be back to finally use the third word in that stamp set!). Next I applied lacquer to each light bulb and a die cut snowflake with gem to the O. Done!!

I'm also adding this to Virginia's November Show & Share (third entry) and to Darnell's November NBUS Challenge since my die is getting first play today. Thanks to Kathy, Virginia & Darnell for hosting!!

Thanks for stopping by - enjoy your day!!
