This time I am using a really pretty stamp set from their October release called St. Nicholas.
For my card today, I stamped the image, sentiment and stars in waterproof black ink, and watercolored it with Distress markers. I also splattered around the images with some of the same colors that I used to paint with. The paper that I used is Master's Touch watercolor paper from Hobby Lobby.
After everything was dry, I mounted my watercolored panel onto a top folded dark gray card base.
