Meerkat Christmas


Hi!  Toni with you today having a fine old time watching these Katzelkraft Meerkats catch a glimpse of Santa. They are too too cute!


I started the card by stamping the sleigh from Katzelkraft Christmas Holiday Accessories then diecutting the stars.  Next I used Zig watercolor markers in broad strokes to create the ground and sky. I used my heat gun a lot as I didn't want the watercolors to bleed but no worries when they did; I just added another few strokes of the pen. After the watercoloring had completely dried, I spattered the card to create snow. I set that aside and began on the meerkats.


I think Copic coloring the meerkats was my favorite part of the whole card. I find them to be so cute and expressive. When I saw them a BUNCH of ideas came into my head for using them.

Birthday:  Is that for me?
Birthday/Celebration:  Happy dancing
Christmas/other:  Do you hear what I hear?

Do you have other ideas?  How about the below meerkat picture (courtesy of the San Diego Zoo)? Look at him!  He's like people!
