Playing with colourless blender

On day 20 of Kathy's 30 day colouring challenge, Kathy created this wonderful textured background using a piece of cloth and Copic blending solution. Since I did not have a bottle of blending solution on hand, I tried to moisten a piece of paper towel using the chisel end of my Promarker blender pen and then pressed the paper onto my background. I really love how this turned out, even though the texture is not as pronounced as on Kathy's cards.

I used Promarkers to colour the image and the background and added clear Wink of Stella and Glossy accents for a little sparkle and dimension. I used the darkest of my red colours to add a red border to my mat. Below is a close-up showing the effect of the Wink of Stella and Glossy accents.

Materials:

Stamps - Boughs and berries by October Afternoon

Colouring medium - Promarkers

Memento tuxedo black ink

Clear Wink of Stella

Glossy accents

Neenah Solar white cardstock

I'm entering this card into the following challenges:

Kathy's 30 day colouring challenge

ABC Christmas challenge - G is for glitter

CCC - 17 Anything Christmas goes

ATSM - 138 Holidays

I thought I would also share the card I made with one of the 2 coloured pieces of this post.

I cut the panel to size using a die from the Stitched rectangles set by Simon Says Stamp and die cut the sentiment using a die by MFT (Happy Hellos). I added clear Wink of Stella behind the die cut letters and popped up the panel using foam tape.
