Festive Blossoms

Hi everyone.  Today I'm sharing a CAS Christmas card using a new-to-me stamp, Festive Blossoms (Penny Black).  I used only a small portion of the image, first stamping in Brushed Corduroy distress ink and then watercolouring overtop with SU! markers.  I am definitely out of practise watercolouring. :)

Close-up ...
To finish the card, I cut my panel to size, added a few highlight strokes with my white acrylic pen and stamped the sentiment (Christmas Sentiments - Penny Black) in Forest Moss distress ink.

Sending this card to a few challenges:
1) NBUS #74 - first time using the Festive Blossom image
2) IDEAS Challenge week 4 - Anything Goes
3) Merry Little Christmas Challenge # 62 - Anything Christmas goes
 


Thanks for stopping by!
