Simon Says Stamp - Jolly Christmas Card Trio

Hello Lovelies! Let's just say that this is NOT my usual color palette for Christmas Cards but I decided if I was going to do pastel Holiday Cards, I would be fully committed! I took a monochromatic approach trying the new pre-scored Cotton Candy, Lemon Chiffon and Mint Cards to each while trying to embrace the joy of the Season.

For a lazybones like me who's often running out of time, pre-scored cards are a delightful convenience! The Jolly Christmas set from the Festive Fun release has five cute vignettes with characters to stamp and color and oodles of accents and sentiments. I used three here and they are sooo cute that it was hard to pick!

3. Die-cut or fussy-cut the colored images.

7. Add foam tape to the back of the Arches

8. Stamp the sentiments onto the card base using Simon Says Stamp Tsukineko Nocturne Ink.

I seem to be less worried about perfection when using watercolor and actually find it more relaxing than alcohol markers if I just want to zone out and color. These sweet images dont take a lot to look cute!

Thanks so muchfor stopping by! Drop me a comment and say hi!
