Christmas Flower for CAS Watercolour

Hello friends,  I'm glad you stopped by!

It's time for CAS Watercolour

A while back my friend, Peggy lent me her Botanical Frames stamp set.

I stamped it and colored it with Zigs and a water brush.

I loved the results!

This month's CAS Watercolour challenge is hosted by Susan.


I love adding florals or greenery to Christmas cards!

I've stamped this image with Versafine Onyx Black ink,
colored a bit of each petal and leaf with my Zig Real Brush Watercolor Markers
and touched with a damp waterbrush to make the color flow.

Coloring petals that are not next to each other really helps to keep
everything from running together.

I finished it off with a few white splatters.

Now it's your turn.

I hope you'll join us at CAS Watercolour.

I see that the Jingle Belles challenge is
Mele Kalikimaka
or Anything Flowers.


Thanks for the visit and special thanks for your comments.

Enjoy!
