Joy

Here is the card I did for the Wednesday sketch challenge over on SCS.  I have a cold, so this card took me forever to make, nothing seemed to be coming together right, but in the end I actually love it.  The branch is from the Love Nest stamp set and the pine branch & ornament are from the All that Glitters stamp set, both are from Flourishes.  Here are the steps on how I made this card.

stamped the branch in close to cocoa

stamped the ornament hangers in black

stamped the ornaments with Adirondack ink

masked the ornaments using Eclipse masking tape

stamped the pine branches using Palette ink

uncovered the masked images

colored in the ornaments with a Copic Marker

stamped the sentiment in Adirondack ink

added my bow & this baby was done
