"Christmas"

Today, I created a simple hand-painted Christmas card. I worked with a wonderful embossing folder by Lisa Horton and then hand-painted it with two-tone metallic watercolor paint. I affixed a sentiment and layered it onto some complementary cardstock. I believe it's enough.

"Aine"

We invite you to join our monthly Challenge Here

Autumn has indeed arrived in the northern hemisphere. Personally, I am not a fan of it; the cold tends to affect me significantly. Therefore, engaging in crafts, particularly colouring, serves as a wonderful sanctuary for me.

This delightful image called "Aine" can be found here. She is coloured with markers and pencils and mounted onto a very pretty paper. A sentiment, gems and leaves complete my card.
