This week Debbie is challenging us to Add Twigs and Branches to our Christmas cards. I have used this gorgeous twig and berry image from Penny Black. I coloured the stamp with Distress Markers, spritzed it and this is my second stamping on Watercolour card. I then added some extra colour on the Berries with an Aqua Painter and outlined the twigs with a darker marker to add shadow and extra dimension. I added the sweet bird for some extra interest and Water coloured it with the Distress Markers and my Aqua Painter. I finished off with the Sentiment and the Clear Sequins.
Supplies:
Stamps: Penny Black - Berry Merry Christmas, S/U's An Open Heart
Card: Watercolour, True Thyme, Ruby Red, Very Vanilla
Ink: Early Espresso,
Distress Markers: Brushed Corduroy, Gathered Twigs, Fired Brick, Barn Door, Festive Berries, Vintage Photo, Tea Dye, Antique Linen
Finishing Touches: Clear Sequins
Cool Tools: Mini Spritzer, Aqua Painter, Misti, Dble Sided Tape, Dimensionals, Tombow Multi Purpose Glue
Glad to see you drop by, Happy Crafting! Hope you will join us this week at Merry Monday.
