This first one uses the new Petite Places: Nativity stamps. I tried many different ways to do the background: mainly painting with watercolours, or using Distress inks sponged then either spritzed with water, or picked up with a paintbrush. For the stars, I splattered with water first, then with white paint. For some of the cards, I brightened up the splattered snow with a white gel pen, or a Perfect Pearls solution for the stars.
And here are just a few more, trying various colour schemes. Thanks for looking!
Beautiful, Kathryn. So creative and artistic. Can I say that I especially love the last one? It reflects the sentiment so well and this is my message of choice during the holiday season for this year.
