Honestly, when I purged and redesigned my stamp room I had in mind to spend more time coloring in front of the big window and less time on the other side of the room designing the card, which takes as much time as coloring, yet old habits are hard to break. And, let's face it, it can be a lot of fun. Just depends upon my mood. My options are open as I kept plenty of supplies for both coloring and designing. But, I digress... rambling again.
I added glitter and some white gel pen accents and an old PSX sentiment which seemed right for my jolly fellow. Tombow markers were used for watercoloring on Arches 140 lb hot press watercolor paper.
Hope he makes you smile. Have a happy day!

You "just" water colored and stitched? That would take me forever to achieve..your water coloring is so perfect!What a cute image..it does make me smile:)
Yep, he made me smile!!! What a fun character he is, these are the kind of images that happen to be my favorites, the more silly the better! Colored beautifully too, and sure is a perfect sentiment! I also like what an easy mailer he is!
So adorable, Leslie! Everything about this card is so perfectly done. Your room sounds like an awesome place to create, for sure!
Such a cheerful Christmas card, Leslie. Love how you colored your fun snowman and his colorful and glittery gifts. Your stitching is a wonderful simple addition to your thin Riding Hood Red CS frame. TFS and making me want to make a Christmas card. Hugs...
another cute one. Have a great day
OMG he is SO CUTE!! What a fabulous creation and you always astound me with your coloring! Well, there's ONE MORE holiday card ready for 2017~! Good for you! I'll start mine somewhere around December 1st! LOL Thanks for the smile ...
Oh, Leslie, what an adorable and chummy-looking Christmas bear! I love him and love your watercoloring! He is just the sweetest, and I'm so glad he made the cut when you were weeding. He's too cute to part with. And I was tickled to see that you too have some Riding Hood Red card stock left! I was just looking through some of the pinks/reds and saw it. Yes, old habits do die hard, but you are making great progress, and I so admire your working on your Christmas cards. I still need to do more. Hugs! xoxo
He is adorable with a capital A! This is a darling image & one I love a lot. I may have to rethink their angel policy & get it. Your coloring is just amazing to me! I have zero luck trying to watercolor. Yours look like a professional did them! I know I need to start some Christmas cards, but in this heat it has no appeal! ha ha
Oh Yes!! smiling here, from ear to ear with this adorable and sweet Christmas Bear with his arms full of gifts,
ready to celebrate.
Your water coloring is superb as always Leslie, love the sparkle on the bows and the stitching detail, I keep saying I'm going to do some stitching on my cards but I always forget, sheeesh!!
Gorgeous and sweet card, thank you for sharing.

Super card! I haven't made ANY holiday card this year. I'm going to be in sad shape soon! Love your bear.
What a snap to create, but he's so adorable! Love the pop of sparkley to add some texture. So lovely.
What a gorgeous bear image Leslie, beautiful colours you have used, love the sparkle and beautiful stitching.
