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.
