A Couple of Holiday Cards

Hello
I have a couple of  very simple, clean"Holiday" Cards to share with you.
I hate using the word "Holiday" but, these really seem like "Holiday" cards to me. lol :o)
I also added links for all of the products I used. The links are highlighted in blue. That way you can easily view them on my website.

Holiday Coffee Mug



Colours: Peacock, Whisper, Eggplant

I water-coloured the coffee mug using ink from my stamp pads. I started with very,VERY little water.
I always colour from the edge of the image towards the centre. This creates depth.
I water-coloured the lid with one of my grey water-coloured pencils. I lightly coloured the the edges of the image and then I used my watercolour brush with very, VERY little water on it to pull the water-colour towards the centre of the image.

I hope I have inspired you to create a few cards this week.
I was very busy in my scrapbook room this past weekend. It feels so good to be creating again. :o)
I will have a few more cards to share with you before the month is over.
Please stay tuned!

Have a scrappy, creative week!
