I used no-line colouring technique -firstly laid down my base colour with copics and then added shading and details with coloured pencils. Thank you - Kymona - for giving me a hint; I had a blast making this card!

I have quite many Purple Onion Cards coming up soon. As you know, my filming set has been down due to a move of my crafting space. I haven't shared some of my cards since I kinda wanted to make them into a videos. It seems that it is going to be some time before I'm able to film again so I'm going to go ahead and share these cards since they are all Christmas / Holiday themed. So stay tuned! LOL!

Thank you for stopping by today. Hopefully you are having a great day!

Hugs,
Marika
