My coloring mediums: DI markers, zig markers, white gel pen....
Stamped the branch and berries using this technique: While you keep the stamp in the MISTI, you color the stamp section by section, with a combination of DI markers, ink cubes, and zig markers, then add some water to the stamping with a narrow paintbrush till desired look is achieved, then - while leaving the stamp in the MISTI - clear emboss the whole image. This allowed me to mask for the rectangle, and then sponge, splatter with both water (then dab with paper towel) and white acrylic paint. Added some white gel pen snow for added effect. Stamped and embossed the sentiment and removed the mask. Love this one layer effect! Added a couple sparkly red enamel dots for something extra.
Stamps: Cones and Berries, Nature's Friends (sentiment): Penny Black
