WCW288 Merry Christmas
Added to Favorite

Photo Details
Poster: Holstein

 This week Kia has given us a video about easy Christmas watercolor cards. I chose to do just one. This also will be for this week's FS982. Nancy has chosen a group of featured stampers from the past. My choice is FS84 lazylizard. She is a wonderful addition to this community with her beautiful gallery and encouragement she gives us with her comments. Congrats, Liz. This is the card I chose to case.
Liz's CAS770 and TLC979 by lazylizard at Splitcoaststampers
Sketched the holly like the artist and added a ribbon and snowtex. Liz used a stamp and colored with copics. Framed it with cardstock and sponged the edges. It was a fun video to watch. This was my second attempt. I used some watercolors that didn't really bleed like I wanted on the first attempt. Second attempt used my favorite Daniel Smiths paints, much better at bleeding. Hand penned with a white gel pen the sentiment. If you need a fast card this is a video for you. TFL

Love it, Linda. I like the deep red you used and that you painted some other greenery in with your holly.

Wonderful result for Liz’s inspiration card. I just love that polka dot ribbon and the pine needles you added. The deep red frame and hand lettered sentiment finish it perfectly.

I absolutely love this - it is my definition of Loose as I always struggled to let the paint flow outside of the lines. Your smudgy shadow here works well to highlight the details in that berry spray. Wonderful case of Liz's card, too. (I also chose her for my inspiration)

The watercolor holly is beautifully sketched and the addition of the ribbon and Snowtex creates such festive texture. The deep red frame balances the greenery perfectly, and the hand‑penned sentiment adds a warm, personal touch. This design feels both classic and fresh, a wonderful case of Liz’s inspiration.
