I did not know that orchid was the color for 2014 when I made these

Xmas cards.   

 These trees were cut out of kleenex boxes.  At first I thought I would cut out EACH individual

mosaic stone,,,,well, after I cut out a few I quickly changed my mind and just cut out the 

shapes of a trees.

  The scraps after all that cutting.....or a big mess......

but after much painting, splashing and tearing it made me a nice stash of Xmas cards.

I am sharing this with Macro Monday 2, Sweet Shot Tuesday, Paint Party Friday and Tuesday
Around the World.
Here is a link for Pantone too.

The color of the year for 2013 was emerald green and for 2012 was tangerine tango.

So tell me,,,,what do you think of this year's color of Radiant Orchid?

Happy New Year

This Christmas card was masked and sprayed with red ink then stamped with various stamps. I attached a strip of music and a little square of watercolor paper edged in gold with a star and a small piece of red ribbon. On top of that I stapled a gold fabric star with the words Noel.

I finished it off by inking the edges with brown walnut ink.

Are you busy making your own Christmas cards this year?

Christmas will be here before you know it. I have been busy making lots of Christmas cards.

More stars of all kinds can be seen over on Wednesday Stamper....go have a look.

Beneath a Wondrous Star

A Christmas cat sitting beneath a wondrous star.

The cat is sitting in some new fallen snow and the card itself was painted

with a glaze of silver and light blue watercolor mixed with Schmincke Aqua Shine....which unfortunately, does not show up too well on photos. Aqua Shine can be mixed with any color watercolor and gives you an instant ice-like shine without being gaudy or over the top.
