Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas today!
I was asked by my dad to make a card for my mom since he likes to give her one every year. Sure, no problem. :) Since I was doing water coloring at the time I decided to give it a try again using the retired set Evergreen. I really like how this one turned out. :)
And another pic from the side.
Thanks for looking and have a Merry Christmas!

So pretty, Sara! I love the shape of your hills, and you got the perfect amount of bleed on those trees. Really gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Naomi! :)
DeleteThis is absolutely beautiful. I'd love to know what order the steps are, I'd love to recreate this, maybe as a happy winter card.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Diane! I saw a video by Heather on Splitcoast, but you can also see it here on her blog... http://cards.heathertelford.com/2014/11/26/falling-snow-video-tutorial/ She does an awesome job water coloring! You should check out her other posts too if you love the watercolor look. I tried to follow her steps and maybe you're a better painter than me and you can too. :) However my trees kept bleeding too much so I ended up starting at the top of my card, adding in the blue background, drying it with my heating tool, then stamping the trees and using water and a paintbrush to give it the watercolor look. I kept repeating that process until I got to the bottom of my card. :) I hope that makes sense, but if not and you have any questions let me know.

thank you so much, Sara! I will give it a try!
DeleteNot a problem, Diane...have fun!
DeleteI just watched the video and read the tutorial. I completely agree with your take on it! thanks for your help. Can't wait to break out my watercolour stuff with my stampin' stuff!
DeleteGlad what I wrote made sense after you watched the video. I never know if what I write will make sense when other people read it, but it sounds like it does. :) After I saw Heather's video I went out and bought a few supplies that I needed so I could give it a try too! I'd love to see what you create if you don't mind showing me.

ReplyDeleteThanks again, Margaret! You definitely have a way with words and know how to encourage! :)
