Designer Christmas Toonie Tuesday

I haven't had time to watercolor for so long! So today, despite the fact that I had a doctors appointment that took WAY too long this morning, and helping on the Pumpkin Clay masks in our middle son's classroom this afternoon. I squeezed in my projects!

Sample One: Designer Christmas Cottage

When I saw Emily's color challenge today of Pink Pirouette, Chocolate Chip and Kiwi Kiss I sort of had this idea of the designer Christmas displays you see with pink accessories ....so here is a designer cottage. Can you imagine a pink door on your cottage? hee hee :)

I stamped the image with Brown Stazon on watercolor paper, and then used reinkers and SW markers and my NEW aquapainter (what a difference!). I know that pink skis, and pink stones are NOT realistic, but they're designer ok?

I added Dazzling Diamonds with my Mono Multi glue to give the feeling of sparkling snow on the trees and the ground.

I mounted my image on Chocolate Chip DSP and the Kiwi Kiss strip from the Ski Slope DSP pack. And added taffeta ribbon (it was vanilla - but I colored it with my SW Marker). And cut one of my Pink Pirouette felt flowers in half for accent.

On the main card I added score lines with my Scor-it...a great tool!

Sample Two: Designer Wreath

Along with our theme of a designer colored Christmas I thought I'd bring out some Flourishes sets and create a non-traditional Christmas wreath. Here made from Magnolia blossoms. Ok, I'm from the North...really the north. I've never seen Magnolias, I have no idea if they make them into wreaths. But I did. Blame it on being Canadian :)

I watercolored all the blossoms, cut each of them out and then arranged them on the Vanilla cardstock in a wreath feel. I added a great big section of beautiful Chocolate satin ribbon, glitter on the blossoms, added the tag with some gold cording, and then used my piercing template (oh I wish I had one of the Ornare ones!)...and pierced some swirls. This is as close to a one layer card as I'll ever get :) It has a simple elegance to it I think.
