Here Come The Holidays! Today, I have a fun Christmas card to share with you featuring one of my favorite images from this collection Tofu & Friends Christmas Truck. It is such an animated image with these super cute friends all loaded up and off to celebrate the holidays. 

I stamped the truck image onto a piece of Neenah Solar White 110 lb card stock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I colored the images with Copic markers and accented with gel pens. I fussy cut out the colored image. 

COPIC COLORS:

Cat #1: YR20/21/24, R00

Dog: E50/51/53/33, E33/39, R00/20

Cat #2: E000/30/31/34, R00/20, E23/25

Bear: E50/51/53/33, R00/20, T5/7

Mouse: N0/1/3, R00/20

Tree in Truck: YG01/03/25/17

Stars: Y13/15

Hat: R22/24/29/39, C00/1

Antlers: E33/39

Trees in background: G40/43

Sky/Snow: B0000

For the background, I stamped the image onto a piece of Neenah Solar White 110 lb card stock with Memento London Fog ink.  I wanted to keep the focus of the card on the adorable critters so I kept the coloring of the background very light. I masked off the top portion of the panel and ink blended the road on the bottom with some Hickory Smoke Distress Oxide ink. I trimmed the panel with the largest die from the A2 Stitched Rectangle STAX Set 2 Die-namics.

For the sentiment, I stamped one of the coordinating sentiments from the Holiday Time Sentiment Set directly onto the panel. 

The colored image was adhered to the panel with foam tape for a bit of interest and dimension. 

Finally I adhered the panel to a piece of black cardstock before adhering it to a white card base (4.25" x 5.5"). 

The Tofu & Friends collection is now available. Be sure to visit Purple Onion Designs for more info and inspirations from the amazing Design Team.
