Fine baubles

I stamped them on hot pressed watercolour paper in versamark and drew a cord from the top of each one with an embossing pen. I embossed in gold powder then coloured with zig clean color real brush markers. The ink in these markers is so vibrant you need very little on your paper; it is possible to blend it easily with water, or as I did, with a clear wink of stella marker for some sparkle. I used blue, turquoise and green markers for each bauble.
After colouring and blending the baubles I roughly coloured the background with a yellow and an olive green marker. I didn’t need to cover the whole area, rough shading with plenty of gaps was enough. I blended the shading with water to fill the whole background then sprinkled salt over the wet ink to create patterns.
To finish off the card I matched the blue of the baubles with a narrow blue mat and attached to a white card base. I think I’ll be pulling out my tree and baubles any day now.

This is so bright and pretty Heather and the baubles stand out beautifully against that watercoloured and salted background which has given it lot of interest. x
Wow! the jewelled colours of these baubles against the citrusy background are such a refreshing approach to Christmas. Very pretty and energising. Only 10 more sleeps! 🙂
Beautiful card Heather! Love the coloring on the baubles and the pretty background.
