Cocoa Christmas!

Hi! I made this card this morning for the Featured Stamper challenge at SCS! I haven't played in awhile, but HAD to today because the FS is my friend, Michele (MitchyGitchyGoomy). She is a great person and a VERY talented artist! This is Tilda Unwrapped. I had her colored up and went through what seemed like tons of dp trying to find THE paper! Do you ever do that? Often I choose the paper first, but this time just colored the image. Well, I finally figured out that I needed to use a cocoa or chocolate to go with my red and green. Then it came together. I'm afraid my pictures are a little dark, but IRL they are deep and rich. (I really love this card!)

I carefully cut out the image even thought there are really skinny parts. You can probably see that I left some white and then just sponged it with some color. I think this works okay on those really difficult images.

The dp is is from a Creative Imaginations pad that I got at Michael's. The regular prices are sometimes ridiculous, but if you can use your coupon it's a bit better. That's what I did! I'm sure that's something all of you know!

My reds are R46 and R59.

Tilda's skin is my usual E0000, E01 and E93

The tan color is E43 and E42, lightened with a little blender and some E0000

The greens are G0000, YG11, G12, and G29

I'm off to post on SCS!

Thanks so much for visiting. If there's ever anything else you'd like to know about a card just let me know. I try to get back and answer any questions!
