Water Colored Christmas Lights!

I have discovered I really like watercoloring! I remember those watercolor books as a kid that you just dip that paint brush in water and start brushing on the pages.  Well my technique is very similar! I tap some Distress Ink or scribble some watercolor marker on a stamp block and just spritz with water and start painting!

For this card I used the Shine Bright Stamp Set and Ranger Clear Embossing Powder to create my bulbs!  Then die cut the base of the bulb from the Christmas Lights Shaker Die Set ~ yes they are sized the same as the stamps, only I USED the larger base. The strings are from Happy Birthday and are really balloon strings!  But Lisa Lara showed how to use them in THIS post ~ brilliant!  OR you can use the Slippery Slopes & Stitched Clouds Die Set to make a light string like I did in THIS post. I then smeared Festive Berries and Evergreen Bough Distress Ink onto acrylic stamp blocks, spritzed with water and colored inside the embossed lines. This gives it a very unique floating on air look! A simple, quick and easy card! Thanks for stopping by today!
