Watercolor Peace

This is Day 20 of the #30DayChristmasCardMakingChallenge. We are 2/3 of the way through the challenge, we are definitely on the down hill slide. It’s a Technique Challenge using Watercoloring for today. I watercolored a piece of Fluid 100 paper with Pear Pizzazz, Garden Green and Old Olive. After it dried I die cut the trees from the Pine Woods Dies. I really like how it turned out. Another one into my stash for the holidays.

Joy to the World

I just finished the post for Day 6 of the #30DayChristmasCardChallenge with Martin Stone. Melon Mambo isn’t a color I would have chosen for Christmas but that’s what challenges are all about. I’m more of a traditional color Christmas gal. I had fun playing along anyway. Don’t you want to join us?

Merry and Bright Christmas

Here’s the post for Day 2 of #30DayChristmasCardMakingChallenge. It’s a technique challenge using paper piecing. The holly from Christmas Gleaming is pieced in using the Poinsettia Place DSP. It’s been quite some time since I’ve played with this technique.  Don’t you want to play along with us as we get a jump start on our Christmas cards this year?
