I appreciate any
chance I get to be creative. The holidays in December give me that opportunity.
This will be the first of several posts on my blog to show the ways to vary the
cards you make beginning with one Christmas tree stamp from Stampabilities
#OR1059.
Instructions:
Stamp tree on watercolor paper, using jet black, Stazon solvent ink.
Use Tombow Watercolor Markers to
color green areas, followed by red (you can use a waterbrush to blend the ribbon) on the ribbons and bows.
Color ornaments in assorted colors.
Use metallic Gelly Roll [en for the star and
some embellishments of ornaments.
Cut out tree leaving a white edge
(I didn’t use the gifts at the bottom of the stamped tree).
Glue tree to holiday print card
base (I used Recollections 5.5 in. x 4.25 in. cards).
Add holiday stickers for interest
both as ornaments and gifts.
Check my next blog for another card
using this great stamp!
