Hello friends! I can’t believe how quickly time goes by, it’s nearly Christmas! Just a few more days. As promised, I’m sharing another card I posted during my Simon’s Instagram Takeover back in November, see previous project here.

CARD DETAILS
I used my Copic markers to color this print (I’m listing all colors below in my supply list). Since I was doing my coloring on watercolor paper it took quite a bit of marker, so you have to be careful. You certainly can color with Copics or other alcohol markers on watercolor paper, but because of the way this paper is designed (it is made to absorb a lot of water) it will suck a lot of the marker and you’ll end up using more marker than you would have used on regular or alcohol marker friendly paper. I personally love to color on watercolor paper with my Copics, but it’s a matter of taste, I think.
I colored houses using several colors and also colored sky dark blue to make it look as if this was night time. I also used a shimmer per fron Tonic to add a generous amount of shimmer to the snow and covered the rooftops of my house with glitter glue.
Here’s a step by step collage – click to enlarge this photo.

Beautiful card! I bought this pack of Suzy’s cards and am looking forward to coloring them, even though I have already sent my Christmas cards out. Never too early to start on next year’s cards! I enjoy watching you create these beautiful cards. Thanks for sharing.
I love Suzy’s card designs, but, unfortunately, not in my budget.
Yana, your card and coloring are lovely!

Beautiful sentiment, the card looks brilliant as well, not yet tried watercolour paper & Copics, still battling with other card stock x

Your card seriously rocks my world. I love houses and you kicked this up a notch in my books. You are so very talented.
Very pretty, I think I could color this image with my copic’s way easier than trying to water color the image. Great job
