Cathy's challenge is all about color this week. We are to use our birthstone and one neutral color on our cards. Being a May girl...emerald it is, and gold for my neutral. Sketched the branches and ornament, using two water colored pencils, green and grey...watercolored . Added the gold for the holder and around the card. Using a brush to apply the color to stamp. Used the grey for shading. Thanks for looking.

This is a beautiful Christmas card Linda! I love that shade of green and you have so artfully varied it with grey. That spruce bought looks so real I can almost smell it. (one of my favourite December scents) Marvellous card!

As always, I am blown away by your artistic abilities - this is BEAUTIFUL! Really luvin' those pine branches. Just wondering if you're art is a natural talent. Lucky girl, being an Emerald baby.

Into my faves - this may be my favorite ornament card of all time. Your branches are perfect!!!!! Love the little drip at the bottom of the ornament - it makes everything look kind of magical. Love, love! Hugz
