The beautiful neighborhood scene on this card is from a coloring book named “Creative Haven Christmas Inspirations Coloring Book." I'd signed up for a weekly newsletter a while ago from Dover Publications and have appreciated that it regularly emails links to a half dozen coloring books and activity books, each offering 4-5 pages that are available for a short time as free downloads. This friendly scene was one of the pages available in a recent newsletter. (Sign up for the sampler newsletter to start getting your own treasures!] After copying the image, I used my Word program to reduce it in size to fit an A2 card. I printed, then fussy-cut around the edges of the houses before using a technique called spotlighting to focus attention on the center of the scene, which I colored with markers and a white gel pen. A few handmade embellishments compliment the front of the card while upcycled cards help to finish the inside.

I'm entering this card into several challenges including Scribbles Designs (Create a project that includes a house or buildings.)
