Elf Anya

This weekend we had out of town guests (my hubby's friend and his wife) come for a week and visit friends and family. Unfortunately, I was not able to hang out with them because of this horrible cold that I am trying to get rid of. Maybe I will see them before they leave on Wednesday for a short while. The good thing is that they visit a few times in the year. I sure hope to feel better real soon, being sick is never fun. Well, it's another wonderful sketch made by Maria!! You guessed it, it's time for another Christmas card with Christmas Stampin' All Year Long!
I decided that for my card, I would bring out Elf Anya since I purchased her after the holidays. Isn't she cute! I have not seen her for sale after the holidays, maybe she will be as it gets closer to Christmas. So if I make my Christmas card now I know for sure that I used her. I actually was not sure if I would be able to participate in the challenge this week because I was in bed the entire weekend, but decided to at least color my image first and then I still had a little energy left to finish the sketch part. I'm so glad that I did complete it because it looks like the perfect sketch for this image.

I had the opportunity to use some copics colors that I have not been able to until today and was happy to see that they turned out the way I wanted it to, especially to match the papers that I planned for it. Speaking of copics, I have had many requests for copic tutorials and that is exactly what I will do. I will be coming up with tutorials on how to color some things such as hair, clothes, and various objects. If there are tutorials that you would like to see, please leave your suggestions in a post or an email~I'd love to know.

Have a Happy Monday!
