Hello there, how are my crafty friends on this chilly Monday? Monday is my catch up day and it's been a good day so far. Over the weekend I got some time to watercolor and I made my very first Christmas card for the year!
I've invested in some Penny Black supplies that I can pull out and do a little watercoloring or dabbling with the card parts in spare moments. My first completion used the Floral Festivities stamp, inked on watercolor paper and colored in with Distress Ink re-inkers. My colors for pink and red ( Worn Lipstick and Fired Brick) came on a bit too strong, but I went with it anyway, fussy cutting the image. I used the circle dies to cut Concrd & 9th Grapefruit card stock, and a white circle that had been embossed with the PB folder called Variegated and colored with Distress ink to match the focal point.
I'm just in time to enter this to play in these challenges:
NBUS as the stamps and EF are new

What a delightful design! This Christmas stocking is gorgeous. Thanks so much for joining in the FMS party this week.
Good job getting started! Nice use of the sketch
What a lovely visit I've had here today, Cindy. I'm sorry it took me so long to get here, and I'm sure I'll never be caught up again. You know how I love your style so it's been a treat to see all your different cards so beautifully put together. I'm trying to avoid being enabled, but you make it hard. Things have not been the same for me lately, but hoping I'll come around. Hugs!
This is a great take on the sketch challenge, Cindy! I love the coloring and how you blended ink on the stitched edges! Thank you for inspiring everyone at NBUS! Hugs, Darnell (Sorry to be so late. Just getting back to Blogland after all our company and traveling ... feels good to be home!)
