Watercolored Christmas Card

Hello everyone!! It's time for the mid month inspiration here at Where The HeART Is. Our theme this month is Christmas Colors. Here's what I made to inspire you:

This is my first trial at 'freehand' water coloring. I used a rough pencil sketch as guide. Well, it's far from being perfect, but I guess it's ok for a first try. I used Yasutomo Pearlescent water color paint. It has a shimmer to it.

I love how the brush lettering has turned out. What do you think? Do you have any tips or tricks that you follow?

Please visit the Where The HeART Is blog for more inspiration.

Thanks for stopping by. Please let me know your thoughts and comments.
