Quick Last Minute Christmas Card

It never fails, seems like I'm always making last minute Christmas cards, even on Christmas Eve! Luckily, I can easily pull this off with watercoloring and simple stamping. Works great every time! Scroll down for creative details. I'll also be loading up a process speed reel that features these techniques on my Instagram and TikTok accounts. It's just over a minute long, if you want to check it out. You'll find my clickable supply list at the end of this post, as well.

I used my Altenew pan watercolors and masked off a border with low tack tape on some trimmed heavyweight mixed media cardstock. I used 4 different watercolors - blue, purple, pink and brown. I also heat set my colors when finished, then pulled off the tape around the edges.

For my stamped images, I used the Erin Lee Creative Thrill of Hope stamp set with my Misti stamp positioner and black hybrid ink from Scrapbookcom. I adore that lyric from the song, O Holy Night!

I also did some paint splatters with my Spellbinders Splatter White. 

My actual card panel was trimmed to 3.5 x 5.5 inches and my full card dimensions measure at just under 4x6 inches. I used dark blue paper from my stash for the backing under my card panel. It was adhered directly to my card, with my watercolor panel popped up on adhesive foam.

 

I hope you all have the merriest Christmas! It's just about time for me to head to my dad's and do some cooking for a family gathering. Click the links below to shop, or for more product information. Safe travels everyone!
