Greetings friends. Need ideas for some quick Christmas cards? Want to participate in the challenge yourself? You can find a list of all the participating designers as well as information on the challenge over on the Impression Obsession blog.
For my card to day, I made a quick design that involves two stamps and some basic coloring with Zig Clean Color Brush markers. I didn't bother to do any sort of blending. I simply colored the holly and leaves with the markers.
To make the card I stamped the flower/holly image that is called Swag onto 140lb watercolorpaper at the top and bottom using black Versafine ink. Versafine is my "go to" inkpad when I am doing any watercolor work. Notice that I flipped it over so that the image would "frame" my By Gosh By Golly sentiment in the center. I colored the outside edges with a light brown marker and a waterbrush, but if I were to do it over again, I would have just sponged on some brown ink.
