Christmas Magic at the North Pole

You know, I don't often watercolor as I don't think I'm good enough at it but today I dug out my inks and aqua painter and went to work.  Of course,  having a new stamp set to play with was an added incentive.  It's called Christmas Magic and is a new set that will be available in the new Holiday Catalog.  I combined two of the stamps in the set to make it look like one.  Actually the snowman and the North Pole are separate stamps.  I haven't made a Christmas card in quite some time so this was a nice change from all the flowers I've been making.


Stamp Set:  Christmas Magic; Inks:  Basic Gray, Garden Green, Jet Black StazOn, Real Red, Smoky Slate, Soft Sky, Soft Suede, Tangerine Tango; Cardstock:  Naturals White (retired), Real Red, Watercolor Paper; Other:  Rose Garden Thinlits Dies, Silver Metallic Thread, Aqua Painter

My card was made and entered in two challenges.  The "anything goes" challenge at Stampin' Royalty and the water-coloring challenge at Just Us Girls.  For the details for each challenge, click the images below.



Thanks for stopping in at the Coffee Pot Stamping Cafe,

Marsha

    1. Thanks, Sue! I don't do much water-coloring but this was fun to make. It has inspired me to incorporate more water-coloring into my projects.
