After the fold is made I cut 1” off the open side. The image panel is 1 1/16” x 3 1/16” before the borders were added.
I did use the 1” piece I cut off the edge for the holly border. It could be stamped right on the inside but I did a practice run, liked it and tape it on.
-The panel is polished stone using Stonewashed, Pearl and the extender.
-The image is Prismacolor pencil and Mona Lisa mineral spirits (MichaelÂ’s brand of Gamsol).
-I used a VersaMark pen to wet the cardstock and added the color pearl Pearl Ex with a firm artist brush then sprayed the panel with hair spray that has the Pearl Ex added for glimmer.
-I also added some Stickles for a more noticeable glitter.
-The sky is done with my handmade cloud stencil, sponge and pad ink.

VERY pretty! I saw the thumbnail, but didn't click before. It is even prettier when you can actually see it. I love the background panel, it really highlights the focal point church well. Thanks for this great sketch!
