Hello! Today I am sharing a Christmas card featuring a watercolored critter from the Penny Black stamp set #30-385 Santa’s Helpers.
- I stamped the skating mouse on to Cold Pressed paper with Versafine ink and colored him with Gansai Tambi watercolors.
- Once dry, I stamped a mask for the mouse and brushed Tumbled Glass Distress ink off of a masked “ice” ground.
- I framed the image with a cardstock panel cut with the 4 1/2″ square in the #51-422 Stitched Square and Circles die set and a circle in the #51-551 Stitched Circles set, which leaves a pattern on the outside of its cut. I also added an inner mat, which was created with a plain circle die.
- I added a die-cut sentiment, cut with one of the dies in the #51-021 Love & Joy set from gold cardstock.
Supplies:
