For my card I used the newly released Christmas Soldiers and stamped them onto Bella's Bestest paper
with Memento Tuxedo black ink. I used copics to colour them.
I think these little soldiers are adoreable - they look like they march to their own beat! I especially love the second solder in - who looks like he's doing the King Tut dance - I totally made him the leader of the group! I kept the layout pretty simple and didn't add any embellishments so it's easier to mail. I will admit to a little trick though - I didn't have a colour paper to match their jackets so I used the bullet end of my copic to colour a long strip on Bella's Bestest paper and it matches perfectly! I learned that from Jennifer McGuires blog.
On the inside I kept it simple using just the sentiment that comes with the image.
