I’ve been following Papertrey Ink’s blog, {capture the moment} since I ordered their cardstock and pre-folded cards about a year ago. Yesterday, I decided to take part in today’s challenge, which consists of making a Christmas holiday-themed project using non-traditional colors.

Since the only Papertrey product I own is the cardstock, I started there, and kept it pretty simple. Using a Lasting Impressions brass template, I traced three Christmas lightbulbs, with a Copic AtYou Spica Glitter pen in black.


I then set to work coloring the images with Copic Sketch markers. I used Liquitex Acrylic Ink! in Silver for the bulb bases, mixing it with Dr. Ph. Martin’s Bombay Ink for the highlight spots. And that’s about all there is to it.
