Brrr it's so cold I've turned blue!!

Although, I am a tad chilly it's not technically me that's turned blue so much as my card!!

This week over at Dustin Pike's Blog we're challenging you all to come up with a
 CARD/PROJECT using NON-TRADITIONAL CHRISTMAS COLOURS

Here's mine:

And I was so good this week, I picked out my paper first and then co-ordinated the colouring accordingly - normally I merrily colour my image then pull my hair out struggling to find an appropriate paper!  I feel a New Years Resolution a brewing!!!

Copics Used:
 B91, B93, B95, B97, B99 oh and B0000 and B000 for snowman with a touch of grey to help with the shadows.
Make it Crafty snowflake chippies were covered in white ink then Copic'd to match!

So come on dear blog visitors -  put your greens, golds and reds to one side and come up with something totally awesome and post it HERE for your chance to win a free digi!

In the meantime I'm going to enter these little chaps in the following challenges:
Catch the Bug - Anything goes
Stamptacular Sunday - Colour Challenge (Blue, Black or Brown and Tan)
One Stop Craft Challenge - Let it snow
SSDS Challenge - Holiday card
Sweet Stampin Challenge - Snow
Prairie Fairy Fridays - Beat the winter blues

Stampin with the dragon - Anything goes Christmas

    Great color combo! I like those interesting snowflakes you've used and the way you colored them to match! As for coloring first, paper-picking later, I learned that lesson. I never seem to have quite the right shade of this color or that in my papers if I color first. Frustrating! So now I have an idea what color range I want, look for papers, then tweak my color choices. Even though it still takes time to go through my papers, it's happier time! Plus,I run into other paper combos that spark new ideas. Fun!
