Happy Holiday: Elsa’s Flora

Hello Crafters!

I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving yesterday. I did. Although I ate too much. But honestly, who didn’t?

Now that the Christmas season is officially upon us I’m ready to break out the Holiday cards! I actually started this card on Periscope. Chatting with everyone is such a fun time!

For this card I used Winnie and Walter’s new In Bloom: Elsa’s Flora.  Oh my goodness the floral images in this set wooed me from first sight. I started my stamping and wasking my poinsettia and leaves onto some watercolor paper. I masked them using some liquid masking so that I could paint a watercolor background. I used pan paints for mine but Distress Inks in Chipped Sapphire, Dusty Concord and Salty Ocean would get you the same look.

After my watercolor was dry I removed the liquid adhesive with an eraser and started coloring with my Copic markers.  I used YG01, YG03, YG17, YG67, R32, R35, R29, R59, E50, Y21, YR24, and E99. I always outline my images after I’m done coloring. I use a journaling pen or Copic Multiliner.

I stamped the large happy from Winnie and Walter’s The Big , The Bold, and The Happy in black ink and then outlined it with my white gel pen. I heat embossed the small holidays in white on black cardstock. I popped this up on foam tape to adhere it to my card. A few clear sequins and a coat of Clear Wink of Stella finished it off.

Thanks so much for stopping by!
