Advent Calendar Extravaganza with Taheerah Atchia

Hello crafty friends, welcome to day 5 of Advent Calendar Extravaganza with an amazing Taheerah Atchia!!

My card today, I used some of Pretty Pink Posh winter holiday themed stamp sets: Winter Woodland, Winter Wonderland, Wild Rose, and Holiday Greetings.
I cut watercolour paper to 5 ½” x 4 ¼” using rectangle panel die first. I then stamped large leaves (from Wild Rose set), cute critters & snowflakes (from Winter Woodland & Winter Wonderland sets), small leaves (from Holiday Greetings set) randomly onto watercolour paper panel using VersaFine Onyx Black pigment ink. I coloured them with Hero Arts Watercolor Wheel.
For the sentiment, I die cut Scallop Circle Tag from red card stock and then heat embossed it (from Holiday Greetings set) with white embossing powder. I decorated circle sentiment tag with jingle bells, red & white bakers twine. I mounted the watercoloured panel on white card base using double-sided tape first, and then added the sentiment tag on the top right corner of the card using foam tape. I embellished with a few sparkling clear snowflake sequins.

SSS Let Us Rejoice

Hello crafty friends, happy Monday!
Today I’m popping in to share with you my watercoloured Christmas cards using Simon Says Stamp Let Us Rejoice Stamp Set I designed.

Here is what I came up with:
I stamped a Christmas flower bouquet from the Let Us Rejoice set on watercolour paper panel using VersaFine Onyx Black pigment ink. I then coloured it with some Distress inks, watercolour pencils, and water brush.
For the sentiment, I stamped it with Walnut Stain Distress ink, and then added the same coloured ink splatters around the stamped images.

For my second card, I also stamped the flower image in black pigment ink, coloured it with Derwent Inktense coloured pencils, and then brushed it with a wet paint brush. I stamped the sentiment over the watercoloured image with VersaFine Onyx Black pigment ink. I trimmed it down using the Stitches Rectangles panel die, and then mounted it on the Fog Gray card base using double-sided tape.
This is the day the LORD has made; let us REJOICE and be glad in it.
– Psalms 118:24 –
