Love your artsy Brushos background. Your Christmas tree is beautiful stamped, bleached to remove a bit of the Brushos background and watercolored. Love your gold accents with your green and black. TFS your beauty, Christine. Stay safe and Hugs...Nancy

I love all the details of this card. Your brushos background looks amazing, this black color worked beautifully with water. I love the gold frame, it corresponds beautifully with the gold chain on the Christmas tree. Great card.

Your tree looks wonderful against that wintry background. I am not familiar with that stamp but may look into it. I love that you bleached the area to color it, far preferable to fussy cutting. Great card, Christine.

What a great moody looking night sky! Great idea to take the colour out with the bleach b4 doing the tree...

The black Brusho's wintry sky is awesome, Christine! Bleaching worked so well to show the paint's true colors.
