Watercolor and Snowflakes

Merry, merry! It's getting festive around here on my blog! I hope you are enjoying the cards I've shared so far with you and that it's inspired you to create some of your own for giving.

My next card is one of my favorites this year. It's simple, vibrant and perfect for winter.

 

I love snowflakes...on paper! I'm not a huge fan of the snow unless I'm not going anywhere, then let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!! But around here near Chicago, we usually get a LOT of snow and cold temps, so I'm fine with seeing grass out there on my lawn in December.  But it makes for beautiful backdrops on your projects.

 I embossed the watercolor cardstock and used my Spectrum Sparkle Pens to color in the lower portion of it. You can't tell, but in person it's so sparkly! I added some pearls to the centers of the snowflakes for some fun as well. Simple sentiment and a bow, and here you have a gorgeous card to send out.

Warmest Thoughts & Best Wishes

Good morning! I've got another very clean and simple holiday card up today to share. I love how you can create a completely simple card but that's made with love!

That's what larger stamp sets are great for - these clean and simple layouts especially if you have a lot of cards you're planning on making. This can work well with making card sets to gift give as well.

 I used a simple color palette for this one to coordinate with the patterned paper. You can always add some sparkle to the snow or the stars, too for added depth.

I hope you enjoyed my card today. Be sure to visit Crafter's Companion for more ideas.
