Merry Christmas Watercolor Card

November 22, 2016 / CATEGORIES - Cards, Other, Winter Holidays

Hello everyone!! Laurie here back to share a Christmas card with one of my favorite stamp sets!!  Its called Origami Winter and it’s just fabulous!!

I started by heat embossing the tree, the present and the star in white embossing powder on some watercolour cardstock.  If you look closely, I stamped a couple of stockings as well but messed up and overlapped them.  It’s ok, i ended up cutting that side off :).

My watercoloring medium of choice lately has been the Stabilo 68 markers.  I have the set of 30 but really want them all!!  I find these pens/markers so easy to work with and the colors are super vibrant!!!
I coloured my images in with traditional Christmas colours: red, green and a touch of gold and did a light wash of blue behind.  I trimmed the panel down to approximately 3.5 X 5.5.

You can see here that I have everything adhered. I used some gold glitter tape directly on the card base and used some sequins from the Classic Christmas Sequins Fusion mix.  What you don’t see here is the sentiment.  I ALWAYS do this to myself!!!  But I wasn’t going to give up!!  I placed my card into my Mini Misti and chose a sentiment, which is also from the Origami Winter set.
Now because the background was watercolored AND heat embossed, I knew that the sentiment was likely not going to stamp perfectly, and I was right.  I used Versafine Black Onyx ink and there is one tiny place that the sentiment overlapped some of the white embossing and didn’t stamp.  I could have stamped it on a tiny strip and just adhered it over but I really didn’t want any distractions from the background.  In the end, I LOVE IT!!!!  And I hope you do too!! 🙂

Thank you so much for stopping by today!!

Supplies Used: Origami Winter Clear Stamp Set, Classic Christmas Fusion, Mini Misti Stamping Tool
