Thinking Inking

Under the Mistletoe

Merry Christmas! I've had this simple card made for a few weeks, and I finally got around to posting since it's almost too late this year. . . I don't know about you, but I think I got fewer cards actually mailed this year than ever before. Life just got in the way. I refuse to be discouraged about it though; let's just say that I have a great head start on next year's cards! 

Shown above are the Graph'It Brush markers that I used to color the Power Poppy Stand Here digital image. I coated the mistletoe berries with Glossy Accents since they are waxy in real life. 

From my family to yours, Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year!

Thank You with Handpicked Bouquet

Welcome! I'll have a couple of posts today--trying to get everything lined up early since we are expecting a LOT of snow, meaning that I'll probably lose my internet. . .  So how about a thank you card to start with? Several weeks ago, a friend lent me some GraphIt ß Markers to try, and I colored this Altenew Handpicked Bouquet image with them. (I'll have a little more to share about my conclusions on the markers on another day, along with a color chart.) But today I just wanted to share this card so that I could also link to a Gratitude Sale at EllenHutson.com. Ellen has an awesome store--you've probably shopped there before!
