Joyful Holly trio trial

 Hi there, it’s Christmas in July, and phew it’s hot here, but it’s a great time to get ahead..


I saw a sketch challenge, then a one layer, and finally colouring.
Here’s what happened…


Stamped and embossed with gold powder.
First up coloured with SU Blends


Second is LuminArte….in my very old stash


Lastly, pencils and blender pen


I did the LuminArte first, and I wasn’t happy, so I tried pencils with a blender pen,
(blend to even out the lines, except again I wasn’t happy.)
I thought my favourite was the Blends, but when I looked again,
 I like the sheen of the LuminArte, so I just need more practice!

Finally I added red rhinestones.




Because I think it’s the neatest, I’m taking the Blends one to the following challenges…



ABC Christmas  One layer

Addicted to stamps #496 (make your mark, colouring)


CAS on Sunday #313 (Christmas)


Lil red wagon #815 (Christmas)

Have a peaceful Sunday
