12 Days of Christmas--Day 7

Whoo Hoo! Its been a full week of Christmas project shares so far! I love the variety of things that Melanie and I have been able to offer you as inspiration so far! And remember, you can save these ideas for next year or July! If you are someone that likes to get a jump on Christmas cards. I mean, Christmas in July is a THING!

My project today might actually be one of my fav holiday cards yet! It is just so fun and I love to color so it was a perfect little project. I loved it so much I ended up making a bunch as card swaps too!

I started with a base of Fresh Freesia which leant itself to my little rabbits scarf and the racoons toque. I created a stencil with a piece of Thick White and cut the largest circle from the Layering Circle Dies. I used the stencil with Pool Party ink and Blending Brush to create this little wintery window. After I blended my circle I stamped the snowflakes over top in Pool Party ink and then I used a Water Painter with water to flick a spray over top. Water acts like a remover and I thought it also looked like a bit of snow.

The droplets of water really have a cool effect when you flick them over blended ink.

Are these cute critters from All Bundled Up not the best? I just love how adorable they look and I had so much fun coloring them and then fussy cutting them out.

The sentiment “Happy Christmas” is from the Joyful Flurry stamp set. I stamped and embossed it in white and then trimmed around the sentiment. A few Iridescent Pearls were perfect to finish off this fun holiday card.
