I stamped the image onto mixed media paper with smoky slate ink (SU!) and then watercoloured over top using distress inks: Mowed Lawn, Rustic Wilderness, Candied Apple, Aged Mahogany.
To finish, I stamped the Joy sentiment (Holly Days 30-869) in Candied Apple distress ink, followed by two layers of Fired Brick distress inks. Happy how it matched the colour of the berries. I added a few white dots using my Posca pen before framing the image using another new release from Penny Black, Semi-Circle Stackers (51-706).

This is beautiful, Loll. Those colors just pop off the paper. Wow!

Beautiful, such a lovely soft look xx
I absolutely love the way you watercolored this stamp! It turned out exquisite and framed beautifully with the new die. Sigh... I need to stop staring now.
I can see that you can already feel Christmas coming :-) I also have to start preparing Christmas cards, because time is running out ...
This card is wonderful, full of peace. Bright colors give me energy, and the very composition of this painting fills me with peace. A wonderful but non-traditional Christmas card.

Beautifully coloured Loll! Thanks so much for sharing at PBSC:)
Your no-line watercoloring brings the PB stamp image to life, Loll! The holiday greenery looks so fresh with the shiny red berries.
Great job of matching the sentiment color with the berries. Love how you framed (stamped) the image with an angle!
