Line and Wash Christmas Card with Inktense Pencils!

 I am so in love with Inktense Pencils! They are permant once dry, and made from ink. They work beautifully with Watercolor paper of any kind. Here I have used cheap and cheerful lightweight paper from the Dollar Store, and the results are sensational. 

Glazing can be done over and over again without degrading the paper, since the ink sets once each layer dries. 

If you love to colour, I recommend asking Santa for a 12set of these lovely pencils! Or if your budget doesn’t run that far, you can buy Colors individually from the art store. Start with a red, yellow and blue, then mix them on a palette to create more Colors!
