Milton's Fresh Pine

 Howdy - MichelleO here and this week for High Hopes Stamps I pulled out a fun winter image. Milton's Fresh Pine - I think he is getting ready to decorate for Christmas! 

I colored with my Copics (colors below) and found some papers from Paper Studio to match. Now I went with a woodsy papers... not quite traditional Christmas. But I thought Milton was good with these colors. The layers are sewn down and then since Milton loves singing while cutting down his Christmas tree I found the High Hopes Sentiment "O Christmas Tree" a nice match. 

Copic colors used - 

Having a hard time believing Christmas is so close, but need to start getting prepared! Like Milton!

Milton's Pine

Milton has found the perfect Christmas tree! He is quite proud of himself and looking so manly in his plaid shirt and blue jeans. He sure has picked a beautiful winter day to search for the perfect tree! 

I have a secret crush on Milton - he is just so cute! After stamping and colouring him with alcohol markers I hand fussy cut him and ran a black marker around the edges to get any white I had missed. I thought some buffalo plaid paper was perfect for this outdoor themed winter stamp. I found a blue wintery paper for my sky and added some snow drifts and pine trees to create my scene. Some matching twine and a few enamel dots finish off my card.
