Merry Christmas!

Hello! 

It's almost time for Christmas!!

Today, I've made three Christmas cards using Craftangles liquid watercolours, stamps and stencils.

I also have start to finish videos for the same!

For the first card, I used the bauble stamps from the Craftangles 'Christmas Ornaments' stamp set.

I stamped them with Antique Linen distress ink and tried some no line watercolouring.

To create the background, I used the Christmas ornaments stencil and Tim Holtz distress inks. I darkened the edges to create a 'glow' in the centre. I love this technique as it creates a spotlight on the focal image. I've done this for all the cards.

I used some gold mirror card stock to cut out the blows and string and finished the card with a simple sentiment from the Craftangles 'Holly Jolly Christmas' stamp set.

For the second card, I stamped the beautiful focal image from the Holly Jolly stamp set and used the Craftangles liquid watercolours to try some no line watercoloring. 

Once coloured, I fussy cut the image and used 3D foam tape to adhere it to a stencilled background. Stencil used is the brand new 'Diagonal plaid' stencil from Craftangles. 

I used the same sentiment on all three cards, as I was feeling lazy to pick out another one!

For the last card, I watercolored and fussy cut the cute Santa from

the Craftangles 'Merry Christmas' stamp set.

I then made the background using the Craftangles 'Bricks' stencil.

Here too I darkened the edges to create a 'glow'.

I added flecks of white paint to finish the card.

I hope you enjoyed these cards as much as I enjoyed making them.

Hello!

I have a few cute mini notecards for you today, which I used making floral cutouts from Craftangles 'Elements packs', stencils and stamps for the current

Craftangles 'Anything goes' challenge.

For the first card, I started with a floral element and leaves from the 

Craftangles Colorful Flowers 4 element pack. I created a background panel using Craftangles 'Ornamental Lace' stencil. I added them all to a 3"x3"mini notecard  along with a birthday sentiment. If you look closely you will see the dew drop sequins adhered to the flower.

For the second card, I fussy cut a floral bouquet element from the 'Craftangles Colourful flowers 6' element pack. I die cut a banner and added a birthday sentiment. I adhered this to a dry embossed panel and then to a 3"x4" mini notecard. I also added some dew drop sequins.

For the third card, I stamped this beautiful flower from the Craftangles 'Everyday Sentiments' stamp set using a very light coloured ink, on watercolour paper. I then did the no line watercolour technique using the Craftangles liquid watercolours. Once dry, I fussy cut the flower and adhered it to the embossed background panel using 3D foam tape. I added a stamped birthday sentiment and adhered the panel to a 3"x4" mini notecard. I added some Craftangles clear sequins to finish the card.

I hope you enjoyed these cards as much as I enjoyed making them.

Thanks so much for stopping by..Have a great day!
