I love this image from Penny Black. We can all relate to be tangled up with Christmas lights. :) I stamped my image onto mixed media paper in black ink and heat embossed in clear. The image is watercoloured with distress inks. I added crystal drops to the lights to make them shine. Once dry, the top of the image was fussy-cut and popped over top of a background of sponged peeled paint ink over white embossed Christmas Words. Stamped a sentiment at the bottom of panel and then popped it up over card base.

I have (and love) that image - such a naughty rascal of a puppy - reminds me of Tessa when she was younger. Great colouring, great background, and great use of glossy accents on the lights.
ReplyDeleteYour watercolor coloring is stunning as always. I love this cute pooch and I think this is what Jessie might look like this year while decorating the Christmas tree in your house :-)
