Today I'm sharing a Christmas card, maybe the first one I've done since my few "Christmas in July" cards. This one is little different in that only three markers were used (yellow ProMarker on the glow of the candle flame, green ProMarker on the fir foliage, and light gray ProMarker for the shadow behind the swag), then the rest of the coloring was done by layering on sparkle gel pens over the greenery and the flame. It gives a very soft, sparkly, glow to the image. White gel pen was used for adding highlights to the ornaments, too.
Once colored, I cut the image with a Tonic Studios die, then inked the edges with a green ProMarker. The sentiment came from a scrap of Christmas CS, probably from K & Co., and I cut it with the smallest die from that same set of Tonic Studios rectangle dies, & again inked the edges with a ProMarker. The background dp is from a Recollections stack. I found the strip of holly & berries dp in the scrap basket. applied it across the top of the card, and trimmed it to size.
