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.

 

Holiday Card Series 2022 Day 3 Metallic Watercolor Tags

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.

Holiday Card Series 2021 – Day 1 Gina K Designs

October 29, 2021

(Affiliate links are used at no cost to you)

Hey everyone. Welcome to the Holiday Card Series for 2021! I’m so thrilled to be doing this series again this year. I will be posting tutorials Monday-Wednesday and Friday. During the series this year I will be providing an Ink Combos Guide for color inspiration. The amazing Kristina Werner and I collaborated to bring this bonus to you for our holiday card series. There is a PDF you can download that contains all the colors used for my series. Ten color ink combos you can use for your holiday cards. There are inks from various companies so you can create with any brand you have in your crafty stash. You can find the Ink Combos Guide PDF in the sidebar of the blog. Look for this graphic or click below.

Today we are starting with Gina K. Designs. I adore Gina and featuring her products bring me so much happiness. Each tutorial I will share with you a project I will complete and additional cards for inspiration. This will hopefully show you the ways you can use the color ink combos. Let’s check out the first card.

The ink color combo today will work for a masculine or feminine holiday card. This color palette is so warm and rich. Colors of ink from Gina K. Designs are Honey Mustard, Kraft, Dark Sage and Slate. Adding a touch of Gina K Designs and Therm-O-Web White glitz glitter gel makes it looks like snow is resting on the bottom of each letter. The Gina K. Designs Peace Love and Joy Plate makes card creating super easy.

Okay everyone. Day 1 of the Holiday Card Series for 2021 is in the books. I will see you back here on Monday for more card inspiration. Have a wonderful weekend.
