Heart of Christmas - Week 6

Week 6 already, for the Heart of Christmas blog hops! 

This week I have used the super cute Christmas Crowd stamp set. It features one main image and four appropriate greetings. I haven't used my Aquapainter for a while so I thought this would be a great image to watercolour. I find watercolouring very relaxing and almost therapeutic, I know my classes are always quieter and relaxed when we're watercolouring.

The colour scheme I used for this card is a little different to the usual bright red and greens for Christmas. For this card I chose Merry Merlot and Mossy Meadow for my main colours, which I think still looks traditional but with a twist.

 I added some Glimmer White and Silver snowflakes from the Christmas Layers Dies for a bit more dimension.

 The second card I have to show you uses the same main image, but this time I stamped the outline in Smokey Slate and coloured very lightly with my Aquapainter. I love this effect, it's very subtle and soft. Two very different cards with the same stamp set.

All the supplies I have used for these cards are listed below, if you have any questions about my projects please contact me.

Happy stamping,

Heart of Christmas - Week 5

Hello stampers. For tonight's card I have used the very versatile Holly Jolly Christmas bundle

The background for this card was water coloured in Night of Navy ink on Fluid Water Colour Paper.

I cut out the sleigh die from Silver Glimmer Paper. The greeting from the Holly Jolly Christmas stamp set was heat embossed in White Emboss Powder. The final touch was a few sequins from the Snowflake sequins pack.

Heart of Christmas Blog Hop - Week 8

Welcome to the Heart of Christmas Blog Hop. Today I have two cards to share with you that use the So Santa set. These cards are one of the projects we will be completing at my Watercolouring class on the 11th of October.

This set is super fun to colour and I love that the surfing Santa reflects the Summer Christmas we have in Australia. Both images are stamped in Stazon Jet Black and coloured with Aquapainters. The background has been embossed using the Gently Falling embossing folder.

Thank you for hopping by, for more Christmas inspiration head to Ros's blog for a full list of participants.

Happy stampin,
Rachel
