I put the pine branch in my MISTI, randomly dabbed various mini Distress inks over the branches and stem to get some colour variation, spritzed lightly with water, and stamped on watercolour paper. I did the same with the pinecone stamp. Added a sentiment, bordered with brown cs, splattered some light ink, and used a Quickie glue pen and glitter on the white areas of the pine cone and in some of the angles of the branch (it's quite subtle and doesn't show up in the photo).

Really a beautiful Christmas card, Susan. You achieve such a watercolored look using your technique.....and it is not as easy as you make it sound....you have a deft hand. Truly stunning!
