Hi Everyone, it's time for a new CAS Christmas Card Challenge and May is Berry Month. Loll is our host for this month and Lynne is our Guest Designer
My card is made with one of the beautiful Penny Black berry branches. I used Tombo markers direct to stamp spritzed with a little water before stamping. I then used a brush and a little water to blend the colours. Once it was dry I added some detail with a pencil and splattered some gold paint over the image.
I die cut the panel to give the image a little dimension a vertical stamp, now looking at the image I should have used a dark brown ink rather than black.
Here is a close up of the mix of watercolour and pencil, I hope you like it.
I'm entering this for the following Challenges
Merry Little Christmas- Anything Goes
The Penny Black Challenge- Anything goes (optional inspired by a song)

Christine, your berries are so pretty. Love how you popped the panel.
Gorgeous Christmas card, Christine! I love your bold red berries and how you added gold splatter to your design! Your raised panel really makes the berries pop, too! Barb xx
Awesome layout, Christine! Die cutting the berries and popping them up really brings them out! Fantastic card, my friend!
I love how you've stamped this large berry branch and then spotlighted the center with popping up a rectangle die-cut. Such a great design, Christine. Your colouring is amazing with watercolouring and pencil work. xx
What a pretty winter berry card, Christine! The red berries are beautifully colored and shaded with markers and pencils. The raised panel adds so much interest and I love the vertical design!

Such a cool design with the vertical sentiment. Beautiful stamping/watercolouring.
I love it! I love that you stamped it off and then die cut it to add dimension and I also love the sentiment in the vertical position...!!
Fabulous. Loving this card, the colours and gorgeous stamp..xx
Love your watercolor stamped Winter berries, Christine and your added pencil highlighting. Your vertical stamped sentiment goes so well with your design. I wish more companies offered vertical sentiments. TFS my friend. Love and Hugs..Nancy

Such a beautiful card Christine! I just love PB images and you've colored up this one perfectly!! Lovely, lovely card!! :0)
Fantastic coloring! WOW, great shadows on your berries. Pencils are my go-to thing when I need to fix up painting or coloring. Gorgeous job on this stamp, and another one on my wish list!
This is amazing with your mix of Tombows and pencils, Christine! Beautiful stamp. It's so easy to second guess ourselves. I think the black sentiment looks just fine.
This is gorgeous, Christine! You took it to the next level by popping up the panel and adding dementia to your design!! Take care and keep on keeping safe! Hugs, Darnell
Your berries are beautiful Christine - lovely coloring techniques used here - what a great design with the stamping over the additional smaller panel! xx
Stunning image, Christine. I love how crayons complement the watercolor, and this stamp is so beautiful. I also love the delicate golden splashing. I love these little gold crumbs
