Good morning! Here's my next krafty card of the week!
Making this card has really got me looking forward to Christmas, it's got such a warm feel and makes me think of all the delicious food we'll be having and I just love my mum's Christmas pudding!!
Again, I've kept it single layered. I thought I'd see how copics work on our kraft cardstock and I think it looks pretty good, really gives some nice, deep colours :)
I used a little white chalk here and there across the background just to highlight a little.
What food makes you really look forward to Christmas?

Beautiful card, I love the coloring on Kraft. I've never had Christmas pudding either.

Hi Rieca,
Unless you have a very thick carstock, copics will always come through the back.
Copics are designed to blend by recolouring over and believe it or not, you'll find better results, the more the copics soak in.
I suggest layering your coloured image rather than colouring directly onto your card base - or you could stick an insert sheet inside your card which would hide the colour.

You guys are making me hungry!!
Christmas pud with brandy butter and cream.. yum! Then my sister's awesome meatloaf on Boxing Day. It has become a family tradition of many years standing!
Great card! Love the colouring.
Hugs,

Gingerbread cookies are a favourite at Christmas time for me...as well as Rocky Road!

Oh my gosh, this is absolutely GORGEOUS!! Love how you used the pudding for the bg & the colouring is so rich. Makes me want to eat your card!
Love fruit cake at Christmas - I make my own with apple juice and it's sooo beautiful and moist and you can't stop at just one piece..... ;-)

I love this card so much!
I have recently tried copics also, I am wondering; if you had the same prob I had. I found that the copics sometimes
came through on the other side. Did you?

Great card!
Christmas pudding ALWAYS makes me think Christmas. For my DH it would be sausage rolls!
