Draw a Christmas Ornament Card

I made this Christmas ornament drawing using a set of fine tip markers. If you draw the edges of a shape lightly in pencil, fill in the inside with lines, and then erase the outside pencil, the look can be rather sophisticated.
1. Lightly draw three straight lines of various lengths from the top of the card, and then add the outer shapes of an ornament.
2. Fill in little circles for the chains, add sets of horizontal lines and shapes to fill each ornament. Erase all pencil lines.

Oh, we love this one lots! I consult your blog a lot (seriously, tons!), and I hope I always remember to give you credit at my flickr...we're doing this project but on transparencies instead and hanging them from the ceiling--though this picture does it no justice, in person they look really wonderful! Thanks for all the ideas--you are an art teacher's lifesaver!!! http://www.flickr.com/photos/gracieshoots/5203333978/

Love this idea! And I'm having a ton of ideas for shapes other than Christmas ornaments.
