Watercolored Penny Black Santa Paws

Hello! Today, I am sharing a holiday card featuring the adorable Penny Black Santa Paws stamp watercolored on a one-layer canvas. I was drawn to the image of a dog playing Santa and his rabbit helper spreading the magic of “Ho Ho Ho.”

Watercolored Penny Black Santa Paws

  • Cut an A2-size rectangle of Light Brown Woodgrain cardstock and add to a card base.
  • Stamp the Santa Paws image with Versafine on Arches Cold Press watercolor paper and heat set. Color the image with watercoloring mediums of choice (I used Distress Ink, and Zig and Tombow markers). (Check out my “Resources for Watercoloring Stamped Images” HERE.)
  • Stamp the image on to masking paper and fussy-cut.
  • Once the watercolored image is dry, stamp the sentiment on the panel.
  • Cut a snowbank from vellum. I used a die in the Sunny Studio Nature Borders set. Cover the image with the mask. Place the vellum snowbank over the image. Tape down one of the Background Basics stencils and apply Tumbled Glass ink to the sky area.
  • Cut the watercolored and stenciled panel with the largest die in the Zig Zag Stackers set. Add to the card base. I pressed the watercolored image overnight before adding to the card base.
