Watercolor Trees

An easy watercolor technique using ink refills for an easy Christmas card idea.

The color possibilities are endless!

Watercolor Trees How To:

1. Spritz watercolor paper with water.  You want the paper to be reasonably wet.
2. Add drops of ink refills into the water one at a time.  The ink will pool and spread. I used Blueberry Bushel, Granny Apple Green, Balmy Blue, Lost Lagoon, and Old Olive inks.  Set the paper aside to dry.
3. Die-cut or punch the paper into shapes.  Or, leave it whole to use as a background piece. I used my Tree Punch to create Christmas trees.
4. Add a touch of shimmer to the trees using Wink of Stella or Shimmer Paint applied with a sponge dauber.
5. Tear pieces of Basic White card stock for the landscape. Stamp greeting from Brightest Glow stamp set using Blueberry Bushel ink.
6. Attach to Soft Sea Foam card front.  Attach to Blueberry Bushel mat, then to Basic White card base.
7. Slip trees behind the landscape using Dimensionals to pop up the center tree.  Punch a star out of Crushed Curry card stock and add it to the top of the center tree. Add Tinsel Gems to complete.
