Christmas Card Challenges #12

It's an "Anything Goes" challenge for you this week at Christmas Card Challenges.  It's one of my favorites because I get to do whatever I want.  Today's card was very easy to make and makes water coloring so easy. 

For my card I Whisper White for the card base.  To that I added a layer of paper from Twelves Days of Christmas paper pad from Graphic 45.  Over that I used one of the 3x4 Christmas Watercolor Panels from Taylored Expressions.  To watercolor, I used my Faber-Castell Watercolor Pencils.  I love those things!  All you have to do is color then, take your brush and add a bit of water to get the look you want.  So easy!  The sentiment I used is from the Reason for the Season stamp set and I stamped it in Basic Black Archival ink.  Before adding the watercolor panel using dimensionals, I added some 5/8" Whisper White Organza Ribbon.  A few Rhinestone Basic Jewels and it was done. 

All Stampin' Up!® product unless otherwise noted.

Sunday Christmas Card Challenges #12

For our "Anything Goes" challenge this week at Christmas Card Challenges, I stayed with all greens except for the layer that I stamped the trees and sentiment on.  I'm really going to be sad to see the color Pistachio Pudding go.  It's one of the 2013-2015 In Colors that will be retiring this year.  I hadn't used it in a while so thought it was time to get inky in green.  I also used my all time favorite stamp set, Lovely As a Tree.  It's the very first stamp set I ever bought once I was introduced to Stampin' Up!®  It was an easy choice as I do love trees.

Stamp Sets:  Lovely As a Tree, Joy (retired); Inks:  Mossy Meadow, Pistachio Pudding; Card Stock:  All Abloom Designer Series Paper Stack, Gold Foil Sheets, Mossy Meadow, Very Vanilla; Accessories & Tools:  Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack, 3/8" Mossy Meadow Stitched Satin Ribbon, SNAIL Adhesive, Glue Dots, Dimensionals
