Christmas card

With the Paper Party promotion, I knew that I wanted to create cards with the background paper this month.  Here is a card that we did at my recent stamp club:



Materials: Fun and Fast Notes, Rough Texture Jumbo Wheel and handle
Cardstock: Purely Pomegranate, Blue Bayou, Whisper White, Old Olive DSP
Ink: Basic Gray, Purely Pomegranate, Blue Bayou, Chocolate Chip, Old Olive, Summer Sun
Accessories: Gold Cord, Blender Pens

Normally I would do my watercoloring with my Aquapainters, but this time I decided that I the Blender pens would be the better tool.  The aquapainters are fantastic when you want a nice watercolored look.  There is more moisture that is applied to the paper and therefore, the colors blend better.  The blender pens are more like a clear, wet marker, and the color is much more focused.  Because I wanted the color on my tree to be fairly precise, the blender pens were the tool for the job.

Let me know what you think!

Happy Stamping,
