Picked up Power Poppy’s Fully Stocked Clear stamp set last year (only available in these digital forms this year). It is so freaking cute and fun to watercolor. Because I wanted to preserve the image lines, this time I used gray archival ink to stamp the images onto watercolor paper. I used my Schmincke's watercolors and tried to stick to just a gold/green/red palette. When I was done, I used some pens and pencils to differentiate shadows and lines a bit.
I fussy cut out the stockings. Knowing they couldn't all fit on a smaller card size, I decided to try making a slim line card with them. I had cut out an image from a holiday magazine last year. I thought I could use it as background paper or in journaling, but then decided I could use it as a backdrop for this Kraft slim line card. (I had cut down and folded Kraft paper to make the card base/.)
To highlight the images, I used circle dies on Kraft card stock and paper from Moda Scrap, Suditrol. I stamped the sentiment from the kit on white paper. I added color to make it blend into the background with pens and pencils and added some needles from another stamp in the kit. I die cut another circle, backing that with Kraft paper too.
Busy card, but I had so much fun coloring these cute images.
