A Watercolor Christmas

We have a brand new challenge over on the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge blog for you today and, given the weather here in Massachusetts today, it is quite appropriate! It's a WATERCOLOR challenge! (It's raining. The weather could do half the work for you. For reals, though.)



Okay, so here's my confession. I made three projects for this challenge. Seriously. I just couldn't decide which to use and I didn't hate them, but I was sure I loved them, either, so really, it was kind of a crazy-town sort of mess. BUT, alas, I decided on this one. I painted the scene using my Kuretake Gansai Tambi watercolor paints. Which I love. With all of my heart. I added a bit of sparkle with my Wink of Stella because... glitter.



I added a few gem stone ornaments and then stamped the sentiment from Simon Says Stamp Essential Greetings, embossing only the 'Merry' in gold. I like it. It is kind of cozy, I think.

And now it's YOUR turn! Create a project using watercolor of some kind and link it up over at the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge Blog for your chance to win a $50 Gift Voucher to the Simon Says Stamp Store! Woot! Woot!!!

Have a Happy!

Merry Christmas!
