Kia gave us a most delightful site with loads of inspiration. I started with this pick for my inspiration. https://www.thejollychristmasshop.co...-candle-42003/
I've been working on this card since this morning. I wanted to created the white candle and snow. It did not happen. Plan B- sketched a candle and checked the boards with all the Christmas pics. Did my usual water coloring. I wanted a soft look to it. I took my sponging brush, dipped it in water and the OI faded jeans and lightly went across my finished painting. The background had a soft look. Liked it, and then all my painting faded. Waited for it to dry and repainted the whole image. TFL
