Holiday Card Series 2019 – Day 8 – Watercolor Plaid & Layered Stamping

Happy Monday, all! Today marks Day 8 of the Holiday Card Series! For today’s card, I created a soft plaid background using watercolors, and stamped images from WPlus9’s Winter Greenery stamp set.

(Wondering what I used in this video? Everything is linked to multiple sources in the thumbnails at the end of this post, or in the text below. Compensated affiliate links used when possible).

I first watercolored the plaid background with a very diluted gray watercolor. Then I stamped the leaves and berries images from the Winter Greenery stamp set in four colors of Gina K Designs ink: Jelly Been Green, Fresh Asparagus, Lipstick, and Cherry Red.

I used the coordinating dies to cut out most of the images and fussy cut the rest. Then I assembled the die cuts on my card over the plaid background.

For the greeting, I stamped and silver embossed a greeting from Gina K’s Seasonal Greetings stamp set on red cardstock.

Thanks for stopping by today! Check back soon for Day 9!
