hi there,
Here is my card for the WT today; Brush it Up. Played with my new PB stamps and using my MISTI. I inked the branches with Distress inks, sprayed with water and stamped. I did the same with the berries and then splattered the edges using white acrylic paint and a brush.

SO beautiful!!! I've always been a big fan of pinecones and leaves/needles with berries, and your coloring and stamping technique is truly wonderful. Such artistry, I am more than impressed! I love this technique of flicking the white acrylic paint, what a beautiful detail!
This HAD to go into my favorites! I've been looking for stamps just like this for some time. Thanks so much for sharing this fantastic Christmas card.

I wish I could get such a soft look with my spattering, I still haven't figured out just the right dilution for the paint, so I end up with big blobs or big splashes. What a beautiful Christmas card Karen; the soft watercolour effect is so lovely.

Lovely using the brush to apply the ink! The spatters are such a beautiful addition......snow! (and you can have all mine this Winter!)

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this, Karen. This is how I like watercolors....wet and freshly done looking. This is gorgeous....but then you don't do any "ordinary ho-hums"...or "dud bunnies" either. : )
