This is my 1st Christmas card this year and I really like how it turned out.
The April stamp was actually a Valentines stamp but with a little careful cutting and a Winter color theme I think she works well for this card too.

I managed to get it to work this morning :)
You can see that I paper pieced Aprils bow and dress and colored the rest of her and the image with Copic's. I airbrushed with W3 and E40 to give a (hopefully) dusk feeling to the image. Then finally I added Puffy Paint to certain areas of the the snow and heated it to pop it up.
I don't know whether April is peeking in at Santa's workshop, going to start caroling but whatever she is doing I think she looks cute and hope you do too.

Gorgeous creation, Katie. Love all the details and your coloring is perfect! I say she's looking in Santa's workshop but I hope he doesn't catch her! (think that would put her on the naughty list?!?) Thanks for playing with us this week at 365 Cards and can't wait to see what you come up with next!
