If you follow my blog, then you know I LOVE clean and simple cards- especially for the holidays. If you are making a lot of cards, you really need to tone down the number of elements you have on your card.
For today's card, I am sharing a card from my 10 in 10 holiday card class. Here is the info:
Paper:
Bright green notecard
Brown cardstock- 5” x 4”
Ranger watercolor paper- 4 ¾” x 3 ¾”
White cardstock for inside of card- 5” x 3”
Stamps:
Impression Obsession Picture Frame Advent Tree K9476
Impression Obsession Oh Christmas Tree E9474 (stamped on inside)
Ink:
My Favorite Things Hybrid ink Licorice

Other Materials:

Cup of water
Peerless watercolor paints
Heatgun
Instructions:
- · Stamp tree onto watercolor paper with black ink
- · Allow to dry or heat with a heatgun
- Color each square with various green watercolor paints (hint- wet each square first so that the paint will blend better)
- · Stamp saying on the inside of the card
