Morning.
Another Christmas card done. The big day is coming too quick for my liking!
I began making my card front by masking the edges so when I was finished, I would have a nice crisp, white border. I used my Misti to position the tree boughs then coloured them with Memento markers, sprayed with water and stamped. I repeated that process with a darker green marker added just in places to add depth. It gives a great look of watercoloring to my card. I sponged the background with Distress ink and stamped the sentiment.
The boughs needed some berries, so I used the end of my paint brush and dabbed on some red spots for the berries then splattered with white paint.
