For today's Sketch Challenge, SC145. I stamped the little tree from the Lizzie Anne Designs’ set, Christmas in the City, on watercolor paper and then water colored with reinkers, my old watercolor brush and a cup of water. My favorite way to watercolor – for the life of me I cannot get used to a blender pen or aqua painter. So I’ve quit trying! I know brown and green are not typical Christmas colors, but to me it just made sense today. I used a piece of watercolor paper for the background panel on the front of the card (I liked the texture), and just tied a ribbon around the bottom. The sign is raised on mounting tape and I’ve sponged all the edges in coordinating colors. The inside of the card is made with SU Whisper White. This is such a fun sketch and I know when I have more time, I will be making another card!

This card is perfect I like your colors, layout and that stamp is nice! I use blender pens but I know what you mean! sometimes the old way is the best way. Watercoloring is my favorite technique
