Look What Santa Brought Me Challenge Card

There is a new challenge up at Jingle Belles called "Look What Santa Brought Me."  It's all about using what Santa brought you for Christmas (or what you bought yourself).  :)  I got surprised on Christmas day by my oldest daughter when I opened up a complete set of Karin Pro Brushmarkers.    So the Jingle Belles challenge was the perfect time for me to try them out for the first time.
I didn't know what to expect using them for the first time.  So I stamped the image on watercolor paper but next next I will try a smooth white cardstock instead.  I love these markers!!!!  The pen tip is sort of a hard but soft sponge like material and the color goes on very vibrant!  Since this was my first time to use them, I decided to go with a simple design.  I also had a new ink pad to try out by Gina K Designs.  After Christmas, I got a complete set of Gina K dye ink pads plus a black in her Amagram ink (there was a great sale plus Christmas gift money burning a hole in my pocket).  ;)  

Here is the finished result of my first attempt with the new markers.  I added washi tape down each side of the stamped images plus twine bows on the wreaths.  Fun card to make and I love being a little more prepared for next Christmas (wink.)  Thanks for stopping by and remember to stay crafty.....hope you got new craft "toys" for Christmas too.  ;)

How cool was that having a full Car diversion System best 6x9 speakers Through this I really makes the most of my ride each time uniquely while out and about with a few companions. So amazing!
