Every year I have good intentions of starting my Christmas cards early, it never happens. But a couple of weeks ago, when I was on a roll with my card making, I pulled out a Penny Black image and decided to start my Christmas cards! So this is my first for 2020, I'm excited!!
Penny Black - Snowy flight.
I started by stamping the image onto some Neenah Desert Storm c/s using Antique Linen distress ink. I then pulled out my Polychromos pencils and coloured away.
Once coloured I splattered some white gouache, and then stamped a sentiment from SSS - The Magic of Christmas using versafine vintage sepia.
To finish off I dotted some liquid glue along the branches and then poured Twinklets Diamond Dust onto it, to give it the snowy look on the branches.
Have yourself of wonderful day!

OMG!! I LOVE this Pauline... The robin is stunning! Beautiful card beautiful colouring and I am definitely going to pull out my pencil this year!
Hi Pauline... I just came by from Ros's blog, where I saw your comment on the devastating conditions by you. I live near Lake Michigan, and people are losing their homes to high water here, too.
I'm so happy to have followed that link - your cards are absolutely gorgeous! Looks like we have a love of birds, and camera carrying husbands, in common, too!

Good heavens, Pauline, this is exquisitely beautiful! The closer I look, the better it gets. Every detail is amazing! Your pencil coloring on this paper is so soft and perfect. Clearly you have a birder's feel for birds and their habitats. What a treat to see this today!
Oh man... This little birdie is just the sweetest. The warm coloring of the pencils is awesome. Beautiful on every detail.
