Christmas day dreaming

The Paper Shelter

Prize ~ 3 Digital Stamps 

I chose an image from 

The paper Shelter for my project

These Carolers are just to sweet and can be

colored in so many combinations.

I choose to color in in maybe not so traditional Christmas colors

I went with a more 

"winter" color palette

I love how they came out...with the

blues and whites.

When I saw this in my head I heard

"Silver Bells"

Colored with spectrum noir 

blending pencils.
