Hello my fellow Copic Junkies!
It's December and it's time for another challenge. I'm sure everyone is getting in the Christmas spirit and thinking about a white Christmas. Well, my challenge is a little different. I live in upstate NY and although we only have a sprinkling of snow, I'm sure more is coming. UGH I hate snow - I'm originally from GA so I don't do well in winter. I think 'warm weather' to get me through the cold months.
I saw a Copic video that just really made me think "outside the box".

This was a perfect challenge for me. I had to really blend since I didn't have most of the colors shown in the video. I couldn't get the blue sky to really work for me so I did a nice sunny yellow sky. (I felt warmer just making the sunny sky.) I am including pictures of my card and a close up of my chair just to let you see more detail.
Alternate ideas ----
I loved making a background and I loved coloring in a stamp on top of the background I made. My challenge is more of a 'create a scene/background with Copics' -- I'm sure not everyone wants to go to the beach ... {LOL} A sunset background would also be a good for this challenge. So would a night sky or dusky sky maybe with a silhouette of a tree or grass in the foreground. Just bust out the Copics and blend, blend, blend!
