Honey Bee Stamps Challenge 42

Hello everyone! I am sharing today with you something different. I love Honey Bee Stamps, and seeing that they have a new Challenge on their Facebook group page,  I knew I had to jump at the chance! As you can see from the fluer, the challenge is inspired by Pantones color for 2020, Classic Blue. Everyone is encouraged to create a monochromatic design,  and the thought of a fully blue card, had me in stitches.  Blue is my favorite color,  but truly this was a challenge to tackle. Finding a good balance for each element was important to me, specially considering I was using three different stamp sets for this project., Bushel of Love, Little Pickup and Gnome For Christmas: I did a lot of masking for this card cover. I wanted to feature the Gnomes as Santa's helpers beyond the North Pole; gathering gifts for all the children.  For the overall layout, I went with a slimline card base. Colored all images and background with Spectrum Noir Alcohol Markers and added snow

Once every color was blended to my liking, I drew in some trees , using my Spectrum Noir Alcohol Markers black and two shades of gray IG5, BGR3 and BGR2. I colored the main image with Artists Choice coloring pencils and fussy cut it to lay on top of my main background. I added Stickles to the trees and ground to give it a glowy, shiny, sparkly effect. It also adds great texture!
