This is one of my samples for today's TLC challenge - which you can find HERE.
For this, I used Twinkling H2Os and a TCW stencil to create my background on watercolour paper.
I added the die-cut sprig, sponging it a little, then gently brushing it with Versamark and frosting with Iridescent Ice ep.
The ornaments were made using the recent Alcohol Ink Baubles tutorial. I used silver mixative and a couple of blue inks on Yupo.
I added the sentiment (embossed with clear EP), then matted it on gold and a white base.

This is amazing and I REALLY need to find some more interesting stencils . . . . I love the way the bit of yellow in the bg just glows around those fun ornaments. SUPER JOB!!!

Oh, this is just so, so beautiful! The green at the top is the perfect background for that branch, and the red and yellow below evoke the warmth of a crackling fire in the background. It reminds me of a close-up photo of a tree, with the background all blurred out like you can do with a camera. So warm and cozy and festive!
