watercolor wreath tag

I adore Margaret Berg's beautiful watercolors! Her work is gorgeous and happy. I find her so inspiring and this piece...
...inspired the little Christmas tag I want to share with you today:
To create this tag, start with a circle cut from smooth watercolor paper and stamp a pine branch in Distress Ink. I curved the branch stamp on my acrylic block to help create the wreath.
With a waterbrush, apply more Distress Ink in various shades of green to the branch for a watercolor effect.
Continue to stamp & watercolor branches, along with "freeform" branches and circle.

Stamp flowers, berries and holly leaves as desired. Add a few extras dots of color if you need to round out your wreath like I did (it was very square, LOL).


Add sentiment to the center and ta-da!
Hope your having a great day!

marbled with water

Today I have yet another marbling technique to share. I love it and I can't stop...I might need help. Stand still for too long and I might marble you, LOL!

If you have stopped by my blog before, you might know how much I love multi-tasking supplies and this marbling technique uses one of my favorites, alcohol inks!

I love this technique so much, I've used it a lot but today I made a video...

Happy Weekend!
