What a fun new challenge for the Christmas challenge in the Fan Club! I was itching to play with the new Holly Branch stamp from Sweet Miss Daisy Designs, so I colored this up with OLO markers, covered the berries with red Stickles, and stamped the tiny script all over the background. After I brushed some brown distress ink around the edges, I splattered the panel with three things - some brown distress ink + water with a brush, some liquid watercolor + water with a brush, and a brown OLO marker with my very OLD Spritzer tool (it still works!).
BTW - if you brush ink on the edges when your Versafine Clair ink stamping isn't quite dry, you get this bleed-y, watercolor-y effect. Kinda cool!

Holly, this is gorgeous (I need a spritzer tool! and a dry ink pad!). Fabulous inking, splatter, coloring, and designing. Beautiful Christmas card. Hugz
