I added some glitter and some clear glossy gel medium to the ornaments. I sponged all the edges with two shades of brown dye ink, and embossed them in gold. I made the candy cane paper with the small and med. candy cane stamps from High Hopes. I stamped on the glossy paper and embossed in clear embossing powder. I then colored the canes with a red gel pen. For the red panel, I used pine bough stamped multiple times using white pigment ink by Stampin' Up!, which to me is the best white ink I have found.
I got some new snowflake punches last week and was happy to use them. Two are by Martha Stewart and one is by EK Success. All high quality and easy to use.
The sketch for this card was borrowed off the sketch challenge on Splitcoast Stampers today. Thanks for looking and God bless you!

This is so adorable, Crissy!! I love to color with markers too, in fact I do a better job with markers than I do with reinkers. Even after watching Anna IN PERSON color with reinkers I still can't do it. Thanks for the tutorial, your coloring is so perfect ~~ & I love the colors you used on this card!!

Great tutorial Crissy and your card is too amazing for words!!!!!! It's just so fantastic I have been sitting here just staring at it!! You know, I really should try direct to paper watercolouring again at some stage... you make it look so easy but that could be just because you are the wATERCOLOUR QUEEN!!
