Christmas Foliage

Today I have a hand painted Christmas card to share. I can't really claim full credit for it as I did it by following a tutorial by Sharone Stevens. She has a number of glasses on Skillshare and I really like her style, find her easy to follow and am usually pleased with the results I get.


I had intended to do a few more of these as I think it is very affective, but sadly, it hasn't happened yet. There always seems to be something else to do.

I am sharing it at:
CAS Christmas - foliage & berries



I have been away for a few days and have got a bit behind with my blog visits, but will do my best to catch up with you soon. It was good to get away but it is clear that we are a long way from being back to normal.

Supplies:
Cardstock: Watercolour paper; adorable scorable coated card
Ink: Gansai Tambi watercolour paint
Stamps: Uniko
Dies: Create a smile

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog today, I really appreciate it.

I think you should take full credit Hilary as it was all created by your own hand and so beautifully done at that.

Even if you worked according to instructions, you did it all by yourself and I think the result is very successful!
