I have had this image coloured up since just after I got it but that's as far as it had got!

The card is for the following challenges:

The image is from Priscilla Styles and is one of two images for the progressive challenge at Lady Anne's.  By completing each challenge, I receive two images for the next challenge.  It's fun and it is challenging.  For this image, I chose to do more of a layered card.  The background paper is from Décosse's Dyamite Doodles and is a paper I keep coming back to.  I just really love the 3D appearance of this paper.  The image is coloured with copic markers - the boots have just been outlined so as to keep the colour soft.  I added three tiny pearls to diagonal corners of the image.  Matting is done with metallic paper.

The sketch that I have followed is this one:

I have used three papers from a christmas paper pad by Kaisercraft and some green cardstock for matting.  The green trees and green diagonal stripe papers I die-cut with a Spellbinders square die.  The image has been die-cut using a Spellbinders Oval scallop die.  The ribbon is from a christmas themed pack of ribbons by American Crafts.  The tree is an embellishment I've had for some time in a container.  I added some red pearls to the tree as baubles. 

The image that I have used for this card comes from Priscilla Sparks.  It is the image supplied to Lady Anne for her Progressive Christmas Challenge #4.  As soon as I saw it, I knew it was the image that I wanted to use with this sketch, so for this challenge I'm really organised!  The copic colours I have used for colouring are R29, R02, G17 and G14.
