I'm playing along with the sketch at this week's Less Is More, although I've stretched the sketch a little bit.
I used my bargain-fell-into-the-supermarket-trolley-Sharpies to colour the bells and Distress Inks for the background.
I don't normally start making Christmas cards until November (it's bad enough that the shops start with Christmas in September!), but I got these gorgeous new Christmas stamps from STAMPlorations and they're burning a hole on my desk so I had to use them. (And they're on pre-release offer here.)
Looks like I'll have all my Christmas cards done in record time this year!
This is gorgeous, Shirley! I'm loving your watercolor backgrounds! Wow!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Shirley. The water color background works well. - Jim
ReplyDeleteWhat a beauty, Shirley! Love the new stamps!
ReplyDeleteAwesome coloring on the bells, Shirley! When my Spectrum Noirs run out (and they're getting close to running out), I'm going get me some Sharpies next. Beautiful card!!
ReplyDeleteI just got this set and cant wait to play! You have rocked the set Shirley, love those colors and the background!
ReplyDeleteOooooooooohhhhh! Gorgeous background, gorgeous colours and great use of the sketch.
