Oh Night Divine

A manger scene Christmas card using the Night Divine Bundle. I used watercolor paper for the background effect. Spritzed with water, then used the blending brushes to add shades of blue.

Night Divine 

Added the stars with a stencil and embossing paste inked with crushed curry. The sentiment was heat embossed on vellum. I die cut all of the manger images in white and colored with blending brushes and ink. 

 

watercolor christmas

Does it seem too early for Christmas cards? It is right around the corner!

I pulled out an old set - PEACEFUL BOUGHS. I stamped RANGER distress oxide inks on a craft mat in PINE NEEDLES, FRAYED BURLAP, WALNUT STAIN, ICED SPRUCE then spritzed with water. Inked stamps with the oxides and stamped on watercolor paper. The Season's GREETINGS sentiment was stamped with TARNISHED BRASS distress oxide spray (sprayed on mat and loaded the stamp). I love the subtle look of the evergreen boughs and pinecones, the soft edges are somewhat dreamy! The ribbon is SEA FOAM green. 

 

Christmas Trees Abound

Another simple card using the All Spruced Up bundle. I used always artichoke, perfectly pear and cucumber green for the trees. 
 

Embossed Snowflakes

 Having fun with an oldie but goodie, SNOWFLAKE WISHES set. I heat embossed the snowflakes in white before using the blending brush to add dapper denim. Simple but striking.

Snowflake Sparkle

Playing around with So Many Snowflakes Dies and Snowflake Wishes stamp set. I used WINTER SNOW ef on the background, and then sponge brayered it with Mint Macaron. Also sponge brayered the Mint Macaron on Whisper White and then die cut snowflakes. For the front of the card I die cut the window, then embossed with WINTER SNOW ef and followed by sponging the edges in Mint Macaron. the sentiment May your season sparkle is embossed with Silver EP. I painted the fantastix frost white on the card and snowflakes with a wet paintbrush.
