Day 281 Holly and Lights

Day 19 of #iPadVintageOrnaments — a few boughs of holly and festive lights surround an ornament glowing in white and blues. This one was fun to create– and I love how the holly berries turned out.

The berries are created in three layers: a base red, a darker red below and a lighter red above. With just a bit of smudging, the depth of the berries jumps out. A dot of black forms the tip. I love the variety created with some dark and some lighter; they just add a bit of brightness to the darker greens of the holly.

Happy day to you!
