This is the first of of my January Table Classes which I will be teaching at a private residence this evening. This adorable snow couple is from SparkleNSprinkle's Stamp Set 515 Snow One Like You. We
will color with the brush tip of our Copic
markers unless otherwise indicated.
I used the following markers: B00, B02, B04, C1, E55, R21, R22, R24,
R81, R85, YR 04, YR07, YR24 and the colorless blender. I also used Memento
Tuxedo Black to stamp the snow couple, Summer Sky to stamp the snowflakes, and
Nautical Blue to stamp the sentiment and to edge the surfaces. I die cut Circle
1 (smallest) of Spellbinders S2-125 Classic Scalloped Circles Small for my sentiment.
Before we begin coloring, prepare your image by coloring with the colorless blender.
1. Shade edges with Copic Marker C1 to enhance
shape. Then brush shadows to ground snow people.
2. Apply a base coat of B00 on the scarf, hat and
mittens. This photo does not show the scarf totally colored; it should be. See sample in step 4.

To finished the card I rounded the corners on the images and an A2 card which I cut from blue Bazzill cardstock from my cache. After edging the cardstock and the image base with Memento Nautical Blue, I applied Stickles' Diamond Dust glitter glue to the centers and tips of the snowflakes. I cut white cardstock with small, scalloped circle die and stamped it with the sentiment.I edged the scallop with Memento Nautical Blue and adhered it to the card front with foam dots.
