Traditional Christmas to me means red, green and images that remind us of why we celebrate the season. So I went for greenery, candle and doves. The set I have used is a couple years old but still lovely to use.
I have use Tombow pens for the colouring but not directly to paper. I have scribble a little on a tile and picked up the colour with a wet brush. With this method your colours will always be more intense than if you use watercolour pencils or paints.
I've added a hint of glitter and Mark Richards gems to the corners.
The background is made up of strips of torn red card and a beautiful Magenta vellum. The thin red strip and the panel have secured the vellum to the card.

A beautiful card, and beautifully coloured. It makes me want to get out my Tombow pens and start colouring!I love the way that you have secured the torn vellum too.
