Mo's Digital Challenge 9 - Someone Special

Our hostess this month at Mo's Challenge Blog, Lydia has set our challenge to "Someone Special".  We are to make a Christmas card for someone special using traditional Christmas colors; red, green, gold, silver, blue.

For my card I chose Bismarck, isn't he just the cutest? I began by sizing and printing the image onto Cryogen paper with my ink jet printer.  Copics used:
Hat - R29, R89, G05, G09
Scarf - R29, R89, G05, gold Spica pen
Bismarck - C0, C1, C4
Bone - E41 and blender pen
Bow - G05, G09

I used Sugar Sparkly Fluff from Our Craft Lounge on the hat band and tassel.  Spellbinder's Nestabilities Labels 3 die was used to cut out the image but before I removed it, I ran a Copic multiliner around the inner edge to create the fine black border. 

If you notice this card has no designer paper.  I used another piece of Cryogen white for the embossed Cuttlebug Holly Ribbon panel.  The card stock is a wonderful Malmero Perle from Cutcardstock.com; Vermillion red and Emeraude green. They are great true red and green colors with a fabulous sparkle just like the Cryogen.  The saying is computer generated.  Some ribbon and pearls and I was done.  Finished size is 5 x 7 inches.
