I’m so happy to be back to making cards! It feels like it’s been forever since I had the opportunity to create one.
I drew inspiration from creative people on the internet who were using metal cookie cutters as outlines to make quick Christmas cards. While my card wasn’t fast, I enjoyed every minute of the process! I lightly outlined the cookie cutter shape using a pencil on watercolor paper. Then, I stamped my image inside the ornament with a waterproof black stamp pad.
At first, I wasn't sure where I wanted to take the card, so I started by painting the Mini Christmas Village images. I made a mask using computer paper to act as a stencil for sponging the edges of the ornament. I have included a photo below. Next, I painted freehand details on the ornament using metallic watercolor paints.
For the greenery, I used the Watercolor Mini Wreath Set and the Watercolor Branches Set to paint in some pine branches. I also used Dr. Ph Martin's white paint to depict the snow and splattered some additional snow onto the card. To add more color, I splattered some green metallic paint as well.
For the sentiment, I used the Journal Oval Frames for the flowers and banner, while the leaf came from the Journal Rectangle Banner Frames. Finally, I added some gems to give the card more sparkle and fun!
The markers used were the following: 249, 177, 565, N55, 985, 837, 856 and 526
