12 Tags of Christmas with a Feminine Twist - Color challenge

I'm so honored to be the guest designer for today's edition of 12 Tags of Christmas with a Feminine Twist, hosted by Ellen Hutson... be sure to visit the Classroom blog to see all the entries - there's quite an impressive team!

Kittie is the hostess of today's challenge, and this is the color board she chose - I love the combination of the traditional Christmas colors with the warm greys:

I watercolored the Ornament Collage image with a combination of Brusho and Peerless watercolors, then added details with Spectrum Noir pencils and some gold acrylic paint.

To create a little dimension on the ornaments, I traced the edges with a stylus, then flipped the panel, and rubbed inside the outlines with the rounded end of my bone folder.

It's a small detail but it adds just a little lift - here's a closer look.

The seam binding was dyed using 2 colors of Brusho powders, and I made it sparkly by mixing in a little gold acrylic paint as well. The sentiment here is from one of my newest clear sets from Impression Obsession - Winter Silhouettes.
