Hiya, Blog Folk! Happy Hump Day and time for a new Wednesday Sketch challenge at Outlawz, check out the link for all the deets. The challenge begins today and ends on Oct. 26.
I printed the image out in black n white on my laser printer on Springhill Digital card. Here's a close-up to show my coloring. I used a combination of Faber Castell Artist Brush markers and Promarkers. Then I went over all of it with red and green Wink of Stella glitter brush marker pens. I used a gold Wink of Stella on the round outer wreath. I used a Sakura red glitter gel pen to color all of the patterned paper holly berries, and a white gel pen to accent the image and the snowflake paper.
The patterned paper I used is The Paper Studio's Rustic Noel 6x6 collection. I have a ream of Wausau Rocket Red heavy copy paper that has sat forever and I decided I might as well use it with my cards, so I've used it for my mats. It's a gorgeous red and that's a really hard color to match or blend sometimes.
Inside on more Wausau red mats, I stamped a Papertrey Ink sentiment with Memento Black Tuxedo ink.
The back of the card has another Wausau red paper mat and more Rustic Noel and a stamped siggie.
Of course, my favorite shot of the front and back together, the red mats pop!
And a final view. Thanks so much for visiting and until next time, stay well and keep crafting! XOX
