Christmas Offerings

This design is from fellow Demo, Anna Smith. I've always wet the watercolor paper and then dropped reinkers or paint onto it to get a washed background. Anna applied ink from an ink pad to a clear block, then spritzed it with water, and "stamped" onto watercolor paper. I've often sprinkled salt, but loved how much better the affect was when you Spritz a bit more water on top of the salt. The colors used were: Marina Mist, Island Indigo, and Night of Navy.

Both the village scenes where die cut from glimmer paper and adhered with Stampin' Dimensionals.


The At Home With You stamp set was used on the following card. I love how the door looks when stamped on the Wood Grain designer series paper. The little wreath is available as one of the embellishments in the main catalog.
