Holiday Card Series 2022 – Day 4 Faux Dip Dye

November 14, 2022

Hello everyone. Welcome to Day 4 of the Holiday Card Series. We are working on faux dip dye today. I have watched Kristina Werner do this one her holiday cards and I love it. So I took the brave step and decided to give it a try for the holiday card series.

This process for this technique is really simple. By adjusting the amount of water and watercolor paint you can make a beautiful gradient card. Also to deepen up a color, add black a little at a time to get the color you are looking for.

Don’t forget you can see all the cards I’ve made by clicking this link or you can find them by searching the blog for holiday card series.

You can watch the video here or over on my Youtube channel . Affiliate links have be used at now cost to you.

Thanks for stopping by today. I’ll see you back here soon for day 5. Please if you have any questions, feel free to leave a comment here on the blog or over in the comment section of the tutorial.

Holiday Card Series 2022 Day 3: Metallic Watercolors

November 11, 2022

Nothing makes my heart happier than metallic watercolors on black cardstock. Iuile watercolors are now one of my favorite watercolors. They are so shimmery and look magnificent applied to cards or in this case tags. These beautiful stars are from the Simon Says Stamp Peace On Earth stamp set.

A simple sentiment that is not oversized works wonderfully on the tags. By keeping the sentiment on black cardstock, it matching with the tag and does not compete with it.

Okay on to the tutorial. You can watch it here or over on my Youtube channel.

Here is the bonus card I mentioned in the video. This card was made using the same stamp set. For this card I did no-line watercoloring on the angel and I’m in love with the way it came out.

Remember you can find more holiday inspiration here on the blog by clicking this link. That’s a wrap for today. Have a fantastic weekend and I’ll see you back here soon!
