Make a joyful noise!

Hello, wishing you all a wonderful weekend!
Here is my creation using one of the newest releases, French Horn.  I wanted a musical instrument that I could use for general music themed cards, or for holidays/special occasions.  So the digital set includes a foliage and ribbon adorned natural horn, as well as an undecorated horn, and several general use sentiments.
My Card:
I chose to keep the berries white like mistletoe, and make a holiday card.  I LOVE the new Basic Grey Jovial papers!
I used the EK medium rock fern punch for accenting behind the bow and of course some teeny tiny jingle bells tied with thread around the bow.

 

The image is printed on 90 lb. Canson watercolor paper.  I watercolored the horn using Tombow markers and a waterbrush.  The only marker that was not Tombow, was the burgundy color for the bow, that is a SU burgundy marker.  For the hint of teal background,  I added just a very small amount of 373 Tombow in a few select areas around the horn and watercolored it out with a generous amount of water.  I didn't want to make that color too strong, just really light. If you look closely, you can see where I added the 373 Tombow color.... those areas are just a tad darker near the edges of the horn.

I also used a white gel pen on the brass parts after the entire image was completely dry.  This helped make the horn shiny.
