Christmas Tag #7

Hi!
    Finished this tag the day before yesterday but did not manage to blog until now. Anyway, happy with how the holly leaves turned out and hope you like it too.
Supplies used:
Papermania tag
chalk pastels
fixative spray
Crayola markers
dew drops (thanks Nikki)
SRM sentiment
    The inspiration for this, is from Rahmat's day 8 tag in the pic. below. The  background was coloured with chalk pastels then sprayed with a fixative. The leaves were drawn individually and fussy cut from leftovers of the panel painted with watercolours and with splatters of silver paint used for THIS tag. Using markers, more colours were blended on the leaves, then sprayed with a fixative for a waxy shine as in the natural holly leaves. Next, the leaf veins were marked with a piercing tool for dimension. Finished off with dew drops for berries and a sticker sentiment.
