Hi Everyone, it's Christine here with my last Christmas Card. I'm sure I'm not the only one making and mailing cards😅

I sprayed the background with Nuance powders mixed with water on hot press watercolour paper. When it was dry I used the stencil and Distress oxide ink to create a very subtle background. I stamped the ornament using Versafing Claire (Nocturn) and used bleach to remove the background colour from the stamped image. I used my script stamp over the ornament and the background and then painted the ornament using metallic and pearlized Gouache watercolours. Gouache paints will cover the stamping so I put the card back in my stamp positioner and re-stamped the image. I also added glossy accents to the berries.

I sprayed the whole image with Shimmer craft spray -Sparkle which creates a beautiful shimmer on the card, you can just see it in the picture below.

I hope you all have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Christine Alexander - DT Magenta
