It’s a little ironic that I’m posting this water-colored card today as I am teaching a Water Color Class tonight so how appropriate! Water-coloring is one of my very favorite techniques. I think that comes from being an art major in college. Just look how pretty the poinsettia looks once it is embossed using Pewter Embossing Powder and then water-coloring the images:
I opted not to use Water-color paper this time only because I was using a small handful of colors to “paint” with.
I also love the look of the sentiment stamped and embossed on Very
Vanilla Cardstock. It stands out against the Whisper White Cardstock
background:
The ink I used is from the lids of each ink pad and I painted using a Blender Pen:
- Cardstock: Strawberry Slush, Whisper White, Soft Sky, Very Vanilla
- Inks: VersaMark, Blushing Bride, Strawberry Slush, Soft Sky, Marina Mist
- Stamp Sets: Joyful Christmas
- Tools: Big Shot Machine, Apothecary Accents Framelits Dies, Stampin’ Dimensionals, Heat Tool, Pewter Embossing Powder, Blender Pen
I thought I would leave you today with photo’s of our Christmas tree this year. We have a new tree that is sprayed with white snow and it is so elegant. My colors this year are red, green, white and gold:
And I caught Katie-Cat snoozing under the tree before I added the wrapped gifts:
Thanks for stopping by to visit!

I love your card, I wish I could color like you! Aren't cats funny. Ours was lying under the tree before the tree was assembled! She will be under it until we undecorate.
Thanks Mary! Last year I had a 2nd tree in my entryway and I couldn't believe all the cat hair I found on the skirting when I took the tree down!
Debbie, I have a 19 year old cat named Itchy and he loves to lay under the Christmas tree with all the presents. I think it must be warm under there with the lights on. BTW, beautiful card.
That does make sense about the heat from the lights, never thought of that one!
