Wishing You Happiness in 2016

My design today features an easy, fun background using Spectrum Noir Sparkle Markers.
To make the colorful backgrounds, I spritzed water liberally onto a piece of A2 size cardstock and dropped Spectrum Noir Sparkle Marker colors in. It was such rich, full color I used two more pieces cardstock to "kiss" over the first one and pick up some of the color. I still had a lot of color so I spritzed a full sheet with water and kissed all the A2 pieces against it to fill it will color. This gave me a stash of backgrounds!

Seasons Greetings

Today is Christmas Eve and we are celebrating the birth of Jesus - enjoying family and friends and feeling thankful for all the joys and challenges of the year.




The main image is heat embossed on Crafter's Companion Watercolour Cardstock and colored with Spectrum Aqua Markers and Spectrum Noir Blendable Colored Pencils. The background was 'painted' with Spectrum Noir Sparkle Markers.  I used the palette technique for both - scribbled color on a palette and used a dampened brush to pick up and spread color.  To make clouds in the sky, I used a balled up paper towel to pull out color. A stencil brush came in handy to brush away tiny pieces of paper.
