Hi, there. Sharing a little card set I created for Papertrey's Make it Monday challenge. Melissa showed us a few techniques to create beautiful water colored card sets. Stop by and check out her stunning cards!
I went a little unconventional and decided to make some Christmas cards for this challenge-in unconventional colors! Who says you can only make holiday cards in December?
Here's my take on today's challenge:
I colored the poinsettia using various PTI inks, distress inks, and my watercolor pen. I must admit, I love playing with my water pen but water coloring is incredibly challenging for me.
I dabbed a little Versamark on the pinecones and brushed on some gold perfect pearls.
The sentiment is from PTI's Instant Photo: Holidays Stamp Set.
Another in various shades of gold.
Thanks for stopping by!
