Hey hey! Did you make any cards for World Cardmaking Day? I made a bunch! I’ve had these ideas kicking around in my brain for months now and finally (!) had a chance to sit down and plan, yay!
For this first batch of cards, I broke out my Studio Calico Color Theory acrylic paint. Love this stuff, the colors are so vibrant and it dries like a dream. I don’t have a green (yet!) so I rolled my own with something blue and sunny day.
Once that was dry I used a sponge to add some white paint — I think it looks like frosty snow. Then when that was dry I stamped my fir with black ink and colored it with pencils. (If you want to read more about the story behind the fir check out this post. I drew it while staying at a cozy cabin in Quebec. It’s just so unreal using a stamp that I drew. And such an honor, too.)
I painted on some white polka dots, then painted over them with red. Adding the white layer first really helps make them POP!
Then I tied the tag to a card, splatted it with silver added a message from this set (love that font and well the whole set — bottlebrush trees yay!) and that was that!
Back in a bit with another card made with my fir. :)
Happy WCMD!

Very nice Lisa. To me the white kind of looks like flocking on a tree. A great look.
[…] perfect snowy texture. And you can even stamp right over top of the paint once it’s dries. The Sideoats and Scribbles blog has all the details for these cute but quick Holiday […]
