Christmas:: Star of Light Watercolor

The background was created by VersaMark with the stamps and then silver dry embossing.  Then the background was watercolored with Brusho watercolor powder.  I made several of the cards and not one was the same.  I love watercoloring.

Christmas: Pop-Up Gift Card Holder

Another gift card holder.  I used Lawn Fawn's Gift Card Pop-up for the inside of the card.  I decorated the front of the card, then adhered the pop-up along the fold of the card.  Another easy gift card holder.

Christmas: Watercolor Powder and Embossed Poinsettias

I have discovered watercolor powder!  Oh my goodness, I love the vibrant colors and the ease of use.  

I used Versa Mark ink with the holly and poinsettias and embossed with silver embossing powder.  Then I sprinkled the watercolor powder onto the card and spritzed.  And the powder created this beautiful background.

Birthday: Watercolor, Flowers, and a "Whoosh"

 

  

This is birthday season for me.  I used the "whoosh" from the Stampin' Up! set Star of Light.  With spritzing of water, most of the stars in the "whoosh" were blended into the colors.  However, I love the effect.  

Both flowers were stamped and die cut using card stock rather than watercolor paper.  The look was too harsh for me, so I spritzed them also.  Then I shaped the flower while still damp.  The flowers stayed in perfect shape when dry!

Christmas: Ornamental Pine and a Santa Picture!

The four children with Santa are my grandchildren; the oldest is 12 years old and the youngest is 3 months.  Life is good.

The picture is attached by using a corner punch that makes a slot for the picture to slide into.  A great punch to have.
