Doing Christmas with Die Cuts

 Hello, Hello!

Are you in the middle of all of the Christmas preparation?  I have all of my Christmas decor up and some gifts bought, but that is about it! I probably need more Christmas cards, like this week's Christmas cards with the focus on die cuts from Impression Obsession.  


I love the simplicity of a monochromatic card.  I watercolored a piece of Tim Holtz water color paper with my Ken Oliver Colorbursts.  Once it was dry, I spattered some white acrylic paint on it.  I die cut the frame using the Birch Tree Rectangle Frame Die.  I also used the Bare Branch Die and the Spring Bird Die.  I can't seem to do a card without coloring, so I used the Berry Branch Stamp, stamped it on watercolor paper and colored it with the Ken Oliver Color Bursts for a tone on tone look.  

Believe it or not, Joy to the World was stamped in Versamark Ink and heat embossed with silver ep.  But, trying to photograph silver ep is impossible! 

I am linking up to The Paper Players for their Winter wonderland challenge. 

Head over to the Impression Obsession Blog for more Christmas die cut inspiration.  

Thanks for stopping by!
