When I first saw this beautiful Poinsettia in theRubbernecker Winter Holidays #2 collection, I KNEW I would watercolor it. However, I then decided to watercolor it 3 times and create a cluster! It was stamped 3 times on the first piece of watercolor paper and watercolored. I trimmed it into a smaller rectangle, leaving some of the leaves to overhang the edges. Then I stamped just one flower again on watercolor paper and painted it. I cut it out and raised it up on foam mounting tape after the rest of the card was assembled. The flower centers were painted with Beeswax Shimmerz Paint.

JACKSONBELLE EMBELLISHMENTS – JBE029

Snowy Jo in Lime

Put your sunglasses on for this one!!! LOL!!! I was trying to pick up the colors in this beautiful Fancy Pants – Happy Holidays paper and ended up using the lime green tones to airbrush the background of my Snowy Jo image. Actually I like these colors together, but it definitely is not your usual winter/holiday color combo.

The image and mat panels were cut with a Labels Two Nestabilities die. I pierced the design at the bottom using an Ornare template. Don’t ya love the felt snowflakes? That’s a self-adhesive felt lace panel by Queen & Co.

You’re more than welcome to play along with us. Create a Christmas/snowflake/winter card and upload it to your favorite online gallery using JBE029 as the keyword.
