Watercoloured Christmas tree

I love cards made by Dawn Woleslagle - she's such an amazing artist!  I don't have nearly as much patience as she does, though, but I thought I'd give her technique of watercolouring from a stamp a go.
I don't have a wreath stamp like she used in Day 3 of the current Online card class, so I pulled out my Snowy Tree cling stamp from Hero Arts, which I thought would be good for this technique.
Well, it took me a fair amount of time (I don't know exactly how long, as I didn't time myself, but significantly longer than I usually spend on one image), but I am really happy with the result.



 I'll be sharing this card over at Virginia's View for her "All things metallic" challenge.

    Your effort with the Christmas tree were well worth it and the sentiment on the vellum.

    The time you spent was well worth it - this is simply beautiful, and so much more than a Christmas card - it's a wonderful keepsake to be treasured. Thanks for sharing your gorgeous card with us at 52 CCT this week. Hugs, Gill xx
