  3. Sponge extra color on the raised areas with Sponge Daubers
  4. Spritz with Frost White Shimmer paint
  5. Die cut with the Scalloped rectangle from the Stitched so Sweetly dies, assemble on Thick Whisper White cardstock with a doily, greeting and die cut Pine Wood tree die

I used Thick Whisper White cardstock for my base card, and for the Merry Christmas die cut.  The tree is die cut from an extra piece of watercolored, embossed tree paper.  Self-adhesive sequin snowflakes finish off the card.

  2. Thank you for this great tutorial. The video made my head spin. Wish it was in regular motion. I was trying to figure out which color of green you started water coloring with, then hitch colors you sponged with.

  3. Absolutely LOVE those cards. I also love “easy” cards that are quick to put together and, in this case, easily multiplied. Thank you for sharing your talent!
