Here’s another December SOM S1512 Candlelight Garden card “A friend is one…”:
I was inspired by the card sketch from Mojo Monday Sketch 427. It’s not exact but has the “window pane” look.
I used our watercolor pencils to color in the images. I went over the coloring with a watercolor brush and water to blend it. I find the watercolor pencils an easy option for people who want a watercolor look but not the mess!
You can get great shading and depth in color by layering. If you need things to be lighter, use water and a paper towel to “lift” out the color.
Create the “water” by adding depth (darkness) of color around the edges of the jar, making strokes following the circular lines of the jar. Go lighter towards the center. Create the top of the water by defining a circle on top and coloring within that circle.
Finish off with the sentiment and the sequins. I added the sentiment on the side of the card for a different look (and honestly, where else was it going to fit??). Neutral colored “gold” sequins have different shades of gold in the packet, giving you options.
Don’t forget the days are rushing by and we’ll be into a NEW year in just a few weeks. Get your planner bundle TODAY or be an awesome friend and get one for her!!
