Hello there! I believe I'm done making Christmas cards for this year, but it will take me the rest of the month to share the cards I've made. That's plenty of festivity to see me through. Today I'm spreading joy and warmth with Penny Black.
In the rush to finish Christmas cards it was easy to forget how restful watercoloring is for me. This was done with Stampin' Up inks. The background was brushed on after coloring, and I drew the border with a skinny gray marker.
In the end I decided to spray with sheer shimmer sparkle which doesn't show so much in the photo, but it's pretty amazing in real life.
I'll be sending my card to two challenges today:
NBUS Challenge #81 -- My never before used schtuff is the Penny Black Holly Berry Bird, a gift from a dear local friend.
My apologies if I'm not keeping up with visits and comments as I'd like. Regular life stuff on top of Christmas can be a little much. It will all smooth out soon.
Happy holidays!
