Thought I'd better get going on a few more Christmas cards this week and maybe do one with more of a masculine feel.
I started my card by stamping one of the layers of the tree from the Color Layering Christmas set across the bottom of white watercolor paper using Forever Green ink. Next I took my olive green Zig watercolor pen and a little water and "filled in the blanks". The water also drew out some of the stamped ink. I then die cut this with a stitched frame. To put the card together I cut a dark gray mat, put some foam tape on the frame and then popped the inside piece in the rectangle. Added the little "Merry Christmas" sentiment and done.
