As it's the beginning of another month we have fresh challenges starting over at Happy Little Stampers. Right now the new CAS challenge is starting so here's the cue card for this month's challenge...
I decided to go with a cute Christmas card, it's always great to get another Christmas card made (of course I'm way behind with my festive makes AGAIN this year!)...
I chose this adorable stamp called 'Sledging Buddies' for my adventure theme. I stamped the image in grey ink and added minimal colour with coloured pencils. The scene was then die cut using a pierced square die and popped up on the card base using fun foam. The sentiment was stamped alongside in black and I finished by adding some shimmer to the snow with a shimmer pen and some fine glitter to the penguin's hat. It's not Christmas without a bit of sparkle!

- Stamps: Lili of the Valley - Sledging Buddies; Happy Little Stampers - Christmas Joy

Your coloring is perfect, minimalism perfectly reflects the CAS style. I also love how you divided the card into two areas. This card is masterfully designed.

P.S. I am sorry to comment now. Unfortunately, my back is still bothering me and I postpone commenting as soon as I can.
