Watercolored Christmas

Hello stamping friends! Today I have a Christmas card to share with you that uses heat embossing and watercolor. I used the gorgeous Great Impressions image (G408) December Holly and Narcissus. 

  

I started by heat embossing my image in white and then watercoloring it using Tombow markers. For my sentiment I heat embossed it in gold using (E739) Old World Merry Christmas.

Poinsettias

Hi there! Would you believe that I have a poinsettia plant that was given to me right before last Christmas that has bloomed continuously since then? It is a beautiful plant! My card today uses the gorgeous Poinsettia's and Berries ( K40) image and I made my own custom pattern paper with it.

I started by stamping the poinsettia image all over and then coloring them with Copics. Once that was done I went back with a white strip of cardstock and gold heat embossed the Old World Merry Christmas (E739) sentiment. I added some stitching to finish.

White Christmas

Hello stamping friends! I hope you are having a great week so far. Today I have a Christmas card to share with you that uses a lot of white with a splash of color.

I started by coloring the lovely Merry Wreath (F344) with Copics and then trimming it out. I then heat embossed in gold the Old World Merry Christmas (E739) sentiment onto vellum and trimmed it out layering it on top of my wreath. Then for a little whimsy I added the cute little Small Chickadee (A122). I embossed my white card layer and added some stitching and tiny pearls. I hope you like it!
