Hello crafty friends!
Welcome to Day 2 of the Simon Says Stamp Make Merry Release Blog Hop. I’m especially excited to be a part of this amazing blog hop because it’s Christmas hop, woohoo!! If you arrived here from super talented Heather Hoffman’s blog you are on the right track!
For my first card, I am featuring the new Center Cut Holiday Floral background stamp & the Deco Hat Gnome die. As many of you know watercolouring is my most favourite way to play with in my craft room! With these awesome goodies, I made a no-line watercoloured card. 
I stamped the holiday flowers on A2 sized watercolour paper panel using Antique Linen Distress ink first, and then coloured the stamped image with Tonic Nuvo Aqua Flow Pens:
(Flowers & Berries) Red Apple, Wild Phlox
(Leaves) Sliced Kiwi, Aqua Splash, Indigo Batik
(Stems) Yellow Ochre, Caramel Pecan
I coloured with Aqua Flow Pen first, then added water using water brush. 
Once the watercoloured panel was dry, I cut the centre of the panel using Stitched Circle die.
For the Deco Hat Gnome, I die cut Deco Hat from several colour cardstock – Lipstick Red, Sunshine, Mint and Green Apple. For the sentiment, I used the CZ Design Joyful dies. 
Isn’t this gnome so cute?!! :D
For my second card, I used the Falling Leaves layering stencils & the Warm Hugs dies. with the first leaves stencil, I inked with Green Apple dye ink. The second leaves stencil, I inked with Green Leaf dye ink. The berries stencil, I inked with Lipstick Red dye ink. Lastly I laid acorn stencil over the panel, then inked with Rusty Hinge & Gathered Twigs Distress inks. 
For the sentiment, I used the Warm Hugs dies. 
It is so easy to make pretty card with layering stencils! :D 
For my last project for the hop, I made a very simple Christmas ornament ball with Warm Hugs dies. I made thick white “Warm Hugs” word die cut, then glued firmly to the bottom of the clear plastic ball using multi medium matte. I filled a clear ball with lots of clear sparkling sequins & glitters.

So cute!
Wow! Loved all your cards and ornament, Yoonsun.
Beautiful cards. I especially love the first one. That gnome is adorable and your water coloring is amazing!
Three very different projects and they’re all so pretty! I can’t have enough gnomes.
Love the little gnome popping out. Adorable!
I think both of your cards are brilliant Yoonsun! I had to look twice to make sure I really was seeing a gnome with a long pointy hat in the middle of that beautiful Poinsettia background stamp.
Love how you used the cute gnome and the ornament is awesome. Thanks for sharing.
These are such fun projects, I love how playful that little gnome is! The ornament looks gorgeous, too!
Those gnomes are so dang cute ! Such a stunning card, so talented. Thank you for sharing
I really love the splattered effect on the flowers. Gorgeous!
Yoonsun, your cards and ornament are nothing less than stunning! How wonderful to see so much vibrant colour and playfulness on the first card and beautiful autumn splendour on the second card. Your ornament gave me the chills, in a good way! So very pretty. Thank you for sharing.
How cool is that ornament! Your cards are lovely!
The gnome is so cute. I have the others so I now need this one too!
I really like that addition of the snowflakes to your first card!! Your warm hugs card and ornament are great!!
WOW they are all AMAZING and SO INSPIRING just Brilliant xxxooo

Absolutely Beautiful! The first card is gorgeous!
i like the green leaves with the warm hugs so different from others i’ve seen
Like the whimsy of the gnomes and the multi-use of the Warm Hugs die. Especially like the Warm Hugs die inside the bulb ornament.

Very nice cards!
I really like the stenciled Autumn leaves card.
Thanks for sharing.
I love the contrast between the playful gnome and the classy poinsettias. So pretty and fun.
What a beautiful card!
Oh I love that gnome! It was already sold out when I went to purchase. I really like how you combined it with that great cluster.
Great cards, and a beautiful ornament!
Oh how clever! Two of my favorite things. An elegant poinsettia and a funny gnome. The combo worked!
Wow – wee! I love all of the cards you shared but I especially like the “warm hugs” with the leaves and the Warm Hugs ornament. OH, heavens….. I had told myself I was not going to order the Warm Hugs die, but now, I think I might! Your talent is exceptional!! Thank you for sharing and may all your days be blessed.
