Hello, and welcome to the Spellbinders September 2018 Release Blog Hop! If you came from the fabulous Svitlana Shayevich’s blog, you are right on track.
Inspired by Debby Hughes’s fabulous card, I created my own version of a winter holiday card using new products from Spellbinders: Christmas Candy Canes Stamp & Die Set and Christmas Sentiments Stamp Set.
I started by creating a winter night scene on a piece of A2 size Tim Holtz Watercolor Paper. I ink blended my background with Tim Holtz Distress Inks: Squeezed Lemonade, Tumbled Glass, Chipped Sapphire, and Black Soot.
Next, I sprinkled water droplets on the ink blended background and lifted some of the colors with a paper towel. To finish off my winter night background, I added some splatters over the entire background using Hero Arts Unicorn White Spray and tiny dots toward the edge of my panel using Uni-Ball White Gel Pen.
After setting aside my ink blended panel for about 10 minutes to air dry, I mounted my panel on the A2 size top folding white card base using double-sided tape. Then I stamped the sentiment from the Christmas Sentiments Stamp Set with Altenew Evening Gray Ink. FYI, I stamped it twice in diagonal to get a better impression.
Next, I stamped my images from the Christmas Candy Canes Stamp & Die Set with Versafine Onyx Black Ink on a piece of Arches Cold Pressed Watercolor Paper.
Then I colored them with Tim Holtz Distress Inks and Altenew Watercolor Medium Brush. By the way, I used my Uni-Ball White Gel Pen to hide my watercoloring mistake.
FYI, here is the list of Distress Ink colors I used for coloring:
- Candy: Festive Berries, Fired Brick
- Bow: Mowed Lawn, Evergreen Bough, Spiced Marmalade
I die cut my candy canes and bow using coordinating dies from the Christmas Candy Canes Stamp & Die Set with my Spellbinders Platinum Diecut Machine and assembled/mounted on the card front using 3M foam tape. To finish off my card, I added two jingle bells below my bow using Pretty Pink Posh Gold Jingle Bells to embellish my focal point.
It’s been a while since I used Tim Holtz Distress Inks. I had so much fun playing with them and I’m sure I’ll play more in the future. Hope you love what I created today.
I feel like sharing my messy desk today. This is the view of my craft desk right after my watercolor card was done. Yes, I’m a messy crafter! I hope you are related to my organized chaos. Hehe.

Hi there! I know this is kind of off topic but I was wondering which blog platform are you using for this site?
I’m getting sick and tired of WordPress because I’ve
had problems with hackers and I’m looking at alternatives for another
platform. I would be great if you could point me in the direction of a good platform.
