Winter Scene

Have you gotten much snow where you live? We haven't gotten much at all though my kids are so hoping for some this winter :) I wanted to create a watercolored background and use the beautiful F459 Dotted Winter Tree from Great Impressions to make a winter scene.

I started by watercoloring my background using my Tombow markers. I like to lay down my color from my pen onto my craft mat and then pick up the color with a wet brush. I layered on the colors until I was happy with it and then finished it by getting my brush wet with clean water and tapping to create the water droplets. This gives such a pretty splattered look and in this case represents snow. I then heat set my paper and stamped my trees in Versafine Onyx Black ink.
