Cardinal Christmas Tree

Hi there.  I'm glad you stopped by.

I have another Christmas card for my stash.


I've used another of the Power Poppy Digital stamps and watercolored with
Twimarkers and my waterbrush.

The background is a wet on wet wash using reinker with
lots of water.

A little Chunky Frantage heated from underneath added a bit of snow.

This scene reminds me of the shelf outside my grandma's window where
she fed the birds.  I still love watching the birds.

Challenges:
Jingle Belles:  Get in shape
June Rudolph Days: Anything Goes Christmas


  



Thanks for the visit and special thanks for your comments.

Enjoy!

  14. Love this adorable triangle Christmas card! You are rockin’ the PP digis. Beautiful watercoloring as always. So is your printer ink waterproof? With the rainbow of colours, this would be perfect for the current photo challenge at Time Out. ��

  23. What a wonderful image and a fabulous shape that works with the image perfectly! Beautiful colouring and great Frantage.

    I love watching the birds and have feeders that I can see from my kitchen table. I really enjoy all the year-round regulars as well as the seasonal birds that come through on migration routes.

  30. Geraniums are so very special and you've recreated them perfectly. I remember having 4 pots hanging from my balcony and the overload of blooms. They are the best. (living in the country the overgrowing trees in my yard create too much shade so I now have begonias... I miss them) Love how the leaves overlap the framing. Definitely a "special" card for a special day.
