Fall and Winter Paper Goods Pack cards.   I was able to create 22 Christmas Cards and 
12 Fall All Occasion cards from the Paper Goods set with products left over😊

STAMPlorations Sketchy Yule Trees

My 1st time to use the STAMPlorations Sketchy Yule Trees stamp set😊
This stamp set is part of the STAMPlorations Holiday Stamps Bundle, which has been 
generously discounted by Shery!

I ordered the stamp set last Christmas season and now having so much fun playing
 with the set, which has 6 open Christmas tree designs.  
The trees were perfect for watercoloring with Altenew Metallic paints.

Another card using Metallic paints..can't resist the shine for the Holidays!

I have discovered that photographing metallic shine on cards works best
at this angle.  But is even prettier IRL....

I stamped the trees in MISTI using Versafine black pigment ink onto
Strathmore Mixed Media paper and then removed and heat embossed 
with clear EB powder.
Next used #1 paint brush to apply the Altenew Metallic paints.

So relaxing and fun to watercolor,  adding layers until happy with the results.
Then let images dry completely and die cut with SSS Postage Stamp Edge Frames.

Next painted a scrap piece of Basic White paper with metallic paint and
attached the STAMPlorations "Merry Everything" Clear Stickers sentiment and fussy cut.
I added the tiny rhinestones for balance and
popped up the card front with craft foam and attached to 
SU Basic White cardbase and Done! LOVED all the shine!

Happy to add another Christmas card to my stash.  Thank you for visiting dear friends.
Sending Happy Thanksgiving wishes to all those celebrating.

Love and Hugs..
💕

Such pretty shine from the little package of metallic 6" x 6" pretty paper, which was

Merry Christmas using Versamark and removed the image from MISTI.

Stencil Metallic Watercoloring on Black MM Paper

I am Hooked on Metallic Watercoloring on Black MM Paper
because of my dear creative friends Lolly and Bonnie!
Click on their links to view their Gorgeous Metallic painting on Black MM cards💖

Of course...I had to create my own version...Instead of stamping an image on
the black Strathmore Mixed Media paper I die cut The Greetery 
"Leaves All Around" image to paint!


I was pleased that the photo showed the shine on the left die cut leaves
 and the darker colors on the right die cut leaves.  
It is not easy to take photos of metallics!
The shine really shows up on the Gansai Gem metallic pan watercolors:-)

I attached the die cut leaves to my Brutos Munroe Sticky Mat and placed the 
#1 "Leaves All Around" Stencil over the die,  which stuck nicely to the mat.
Then I used a #1 paint brush to paint carefully thru the stencil.

Next I did the same with the #2 and #3 Leaves all Around Stencils:-)
After done,  I let the paint dry thoroughly then used Altenew " Silver Gel Pen"
to trace around the edges of the leaves using the #1 and #2 Stencils.
  
Removed the #2 stencil and was very pleased with my metallic watercoloring:-)
I did die cut another black mm paper layer to use to pop up my leaves.

Next watercolored a scrap of white mm paper with the Gem Red paint and die cut the
Joyful sentiment from the CUTplorations Christmas Sentiments Die set."
Did a little surgery as the "Joy" fit better. I die cut a 2nd Joy with the Black MM paper
and attached to pop up the sentiment.

I used Altenew "Fine Frames Cover Die" to frame my image, which
worked out perfectly!  I attached the leaves and Joy with Connect glue.

Next attached my card front to SU Basic White 110# A2 Cardbase and Done!
Thank you Lolly and Bonnie for always inspiring me to try New Techniques😍

Now my head is spinning with more ideas:-)
This was my 1st time to use The Greetery "Leaves All Around" Die set and 3 in 1
Stencil set.  A big thank you to my dear friend that gifted me this wonderful set:-)

We are quickly turning from Fall weather to a wet early Winter season:-)
Which means...I have more time for crafting:-)  We had one of our best ever veggie/ 
 berry garden this year,  so I have been on overload harvesting and putting 
up delicious, beautiful fresh Organic produce for the year😍

Love and Hugs to all my dear friends...I so appreciate your visits!
