As I was working on the watercolor backgrounds for the OSAT blog hop, I decided to try one in pinks. I love Christmas cards in non-traditional colors. I used Blushing Bride, Rococo Rose and Merry Merlot. I love the outcome.
The words are die cut from champagne foil. It looks so delicate against the shades of pink.
I may need to try some other colors for this design. Thanks for stopping by! Join me again to shine a spotlight on creativity!
Hello, friends! It’s time for this month’s One Stamp at a Time blog hop. This month our theme is Glad Tidings. Time to get in the Christmas spirit! I really am not ready for cold weather, snow and short days, but I do like working on Christmas projects.
I love creating watercolor backgrounds. So, I decided to work in some beautiful holiday blue greens. I used Coastal Cabana, Bermuda Bay and Shaded Spruce.
The fun, and sometimes frustrating, thing with watercolor is you never get the same result twice. The colors turned out lighter on the card panel. But I love both results.
I cut the tree out of the watercolor panel and added sentiments from the Peace and Joy bundle. Love those die cut words!
This fun frame would make a great addition to any holiday decor! It would be fun to make one for each season!

Hello, crafty friends! I’m happy to be back creating with the Paper Craft Crew for this week’s challenge. Today we have a fun horizontal sketch to inspire your creativity.
I was inspired by my daughter for this card.
She is an avid reader… thus the sentiment (from Taylored Expressions Simple Strips background), She loves the out doors…thus the tree (Stampin’ Up! Pine Woods dies) and sunset watercolor, She recently got married…thus the two hearts.
How does this sketch inspire you? Join the fun over at the Paper Craft Crew! Thanks for stopping by. Join me again to shine a spotlight on creativity!
Hello friends! Are you ready for another Paper Craft Crew Challenge?
This is a great card sketch. It is a great go-to layout with a lot of possibilities. I just got some new goodies from Stampin’ Up! that I was ready to get creative with. And immediately knew what I wanted to do with this sketch.
I love the cut out tree from the Pine Woods dies. It’s hard to see, but the Old Olive layer beneath the white oval has been embossed with the Tasteful Textile 3D folder. The card base is sponged with Pear Pizzazz ink for a subtle shadow.
Texture can go along way to step up a card design. There is a lot of texture on this simple card. I love die cut words, and the Joy die cut is a fun greeting for this layout.
Head on over to the Paper Craft Crew blog and check out the rest of the inspiration from the PCC Design Team!
