Today Karen shares a Water Color Technique in her video using Masks!  Watch and see how she water colors using stamps, inks, an acrylic block and masks! 




After the water colors dry  stamp the Just For Fun Santa in his sleigh over the moon. 

Just For Fun Santa
For the finishing touch use the Christmas Greeting tag from the Altered Pages Vintage Christmas Tags Collage Sheet,  ink around the edges with red, punch a hole in the top and threaded some twine to make a tiny bow.  Attach the tag to the focal tree with tacky glue. 

Cut paper slightly smaller than the card base. Layer on dark blue cardstock to bring out the colors.



Decorate the inside of your card with the JFF Santa Sleigh.

This technique is great to use all year!!
Supplies:


JFF Santa Sleigh Rubber Stamp
140pd water color paper
Acrylic Block
Tree stamp


Alternate Supplies:

 Handy Tip for Artists, Recyclers and Neat Freaks! I have a follow-up to the Citra-Sol method for creating fabulous background pages and collages.   I bought a big bag of navel oranges and realized I had the ingredients to make my own solvent!   Simply take a clean glass jar, peel the rind from the oranges and place all the rind/peels, without the pulp (tangerines, oranges, navels) into the jar.   Pour enough vinegar over the peels to cover them.    Allow the jar to sit for a week or two and VOILA!     You have made your own solvent for literally pennies.    You will notice the liquid getting a bit thicker than the plain vinegar and it does not smell bad!!! I now have a  HUGE jar on the window sill!       Be careful and only use this after testing on a safe spot.

Full Circle

Hi all! Becky here today! I have been in a circle-mood lately & have been doing circles on everything! So why not do some circles with some of my Gelli Prints??? Here's a simple little card I made using 4 different circle punches, a black pen & some previously made Gelli prints! Hope you're enjoying Springtime in your area! Cheers!
