Happy Holidays!
Hello Crafters!
I know it’s a bit early for Christmas cards but I love the new WPlus9 Holiday Boughs set so much I couldn’t wait to use it 🙂
I decided to use the branches to stamp out a wreath. I used a circle die to lightly draw a circle on my watercolor paper as a guide. Distress Ink Markers are perfect to scribble onto stamps. I used Crushed Olive, Peeled Paint, and Forest Moss for my branches, and then spritzed them lightly with water in a Mini Mister after stamping.
Once that was done I used Brushed Corduroy and Ground Espresso to add some pinecones in. I heat set the whole peace before stamping the large sentiment in Versamark. I used a warm brown to heat set the sentiment before adding in a white highlight with my gel pen. Lastly I added a bit of shading inside my wreath using Copic Markers in W1 and W3.
The watercolor piece was mounted on some dark maroon cardstock to complete the card. I just love how rustic this feels! It’s a bit outside of my norm but I’m super happy with it 🙂
Thank you so much for joining me!

This is so beautiful, I love the watercolor look of the wreath, and the big, bold sentiment! The addition of the white pen on the sentiment looks amazing, really makes it pop!
