You should have hopped over here from the lovely DELPHINE’S BLOG. If not, pop back to the start over on the Make it Colourful blog.
On my card I have used the most adorable little Christmas angel – Sweet Angel. She’s available as a digital image in today’s release over at Make it Crafty.
I coloured her with ShinHan Touch Twin brush markers on Make it Colour Blending Card. The designer papers and the word sticker are from the Echo Park Season’s Greetings 12×12 collection kit (also available as a 6×6 paper pad) and I layered a couple of chipboard snowflakes from a Make it Crafty Lasercut Chipboard pack, and popped a gem in the middle. I also coloured some white ribbon with a ShinHan Touch Twin Marker (R5) to match the bow on the image.
Here’s a colour map to show the marker colours I used on the image:

Very cute! I love the colouring and that snow flake is just gorgeous.
Hi Elain, I just love this sweet Christmas angel. Lovely non traditional colours. I notive you are using a brand of markers I have never heard of. It seems these days there are so many new markers coming on the market it;s hard to keep up. I’ve seen the Spectrum Noir pens come by too and they seem to be dirt cheap compared to the Copics. Do you like using these and are they comparable to the Copics?
Hugs, Frea
This is adorable…so sweet!
Joyce xx
I love this angel and your card too
wow your work is awesome xx
Love the colouring, love the card – great work!
Gorgeous card and I especially like how you label up what colours you have used. Thank you so much for sharing you ideas like that, it really is a very unselfish and generous thing to do.

I agree with Trudie in the previous comment – thank you for sharing your colour ‘recipe’ it helps out those of us that are still learning our way around copics. Happy bog hop, Julie
