I have a container full of Christmas bits and baubles. Included in these treasures are some leftover Copic Colored Lawn Fawn pieces. I also had some stashed stitched snowflakes from Lawn Fawn as well as some smaller Memory Box snowflakes. I was working on a multiples of 3 layout that would tie in with my use of a sentiment as part of my background. I ended up placing the sentiment staggered with the snowflakes as that looked the most balanced to me. I attached the snowflakes with Micro dots and bent up the ends for some dimension. I popped up the tree, iceberg and walrus with dimensionals.

To make my walrus more Christmas-y he is sporting a jolly red scarf. I've Added Glossy Accents to his iceberg and his 'sea' it is floating on is represented by some corrugated paper. I tossed in an evergreen tree to balance the scene. I know that I've gone past the clean and simple with my design, I struggle with leaving well enough alone. After I finished the layout I then decided I must have a fine matt of red. That finished of the card perfectly to my eye. I did not track the Copic Colors used on these pieces. I didn't start logging colors until much later on my coloring journey.
