Hand-Made Ornaments – Merry Christmas

Welcome back!  Happy Monday.  Trying to squeeze a few challenges in that are due today.  It will be a busy week, and I am hoping to find bits of time to enjoy the Studio. 

Combining Color Throwdown (#823) with the Freshly Made (#666) sketch for a water-colored card.

Here is the result:

Steps:

• Card Base: (8½” x 5½” scored at 4¼”) Watercolor Paper.
• Focal Panel: (5¼” x 4”) Watercolor Paper.
• Shapes – Circle Ornaments.
  • Using a small plastic bottle with a base diameter of (1⅝”) pressed into the Ink Pads, the circles were created one at a time and then water was added with the Medium-Tipped Water Painter Brush and allowed to dry.  Far Left – Lemon Lime Twist; Left – Granny Apple Green; Right – Fresh Freesia; Far Right – Bubble Bath.
  • Once dry, I added doodles etc. with my retired Stampin’ Dazzle Gold Marker.
  • Other fine details were added using my Fine-tipped Black Liquid Gel Pen.
  • Shadows were added with the Light Pool Party Stampin’ Blends Marker.
  • The greeting, Merry Christmas, was added free hand but didn’t turn as well as I had hoped but that is the beauty of hand-made.

A fun little card to make…
