WOJ for the Holidays...

As in Whiff of Joy. I tell ya what...I am getting a lot of practice coloring with these! And I am really happy with how they're turning out! Take a look.....!

This first one I started by using the sketch for the design team challenge. I left off the sentiment, which would be near her head, because I like this card how it is! lol! I stamped her onto watercolor paper this time so I could try it with the aquapainter. If you let the Black Craft ink dry for a good long time, it doesn't get muddy and turns out beautiful. I think the red snowflakes and the ribbon and stuff add a lot too. Love it, love it!

This second one may possibly be my favorite ever! goodness...! I don't even want to mail it! haha! Anyway, again, I just love this little thinking/dreaming/scheming boy, and I thought for Christmas maybe he's having a quiet moment of reverence. I drew the lines for the 'wallpaper' and sponged the 'carpet' he's lying on. I used my oval punch and then slid the paper over a little to make a smaller oval for his thought. I just LOVE it! haha! Oh, and the black craft ink wasn't completely dry, but I think it works well here on a little boy who spent the day playing hard!
