Christmas friends
I made it to the half-way point with my Christmas cards and had to switch gears... it absolutely kills me to make the same card over and over - all the while, other ideas are cropping up with no place to go...!
I don't frequently mix stamps from companies any more... I guess that's force of habit from doing design work for specific companies - but these stamps all worked so well together, well... here you have it. The caroling girls are from Flower Soft - I stamped and masked them then stamped over the image lightly with the Music and Craquelure Cover-a-Card stamps (Impression Obsession), and sponged the edges. The sentiment is from smARTworks. The image is watercolored with reinkers, then shaded with Derwent watercolor pencils.
I love using dark browns for shading...
