Happy Ewe Year

I have been grappling over this color combination of green, yellow and brown since Tuesday. I finally had to resort to plundering my paper stash and luckily I found just the right color combination.

Then the next hurdle was to use this combination in a holiday theme. For the life of me, I just could not manage to produce a Santa or a Christmas motif using these colors. Today I decided to stop thinking about Christmas and went with the holiday of New Years.

I sure hope that Tag Tuesday likes this tag...as well as Theme Thursday and The Stampman.

Frohe Weihnachten, Joyeux Noel, Merry Christmas........

This background of Red and White was done with oil pastels and stamping.

Red and White week comes to a close today...time to move on to other colors.

Jingle all the way...........

More Red and White

Today`s Red and White is a mini book with a Japanese style binding.

This landscape format makes it easy to paint small motifs and fill up the pages with color.

The spine is covered with gray bookcloth. A few beads were added with the knot.

I stamped the cover paper with white acrylics which acts as a resist when dry.
I then did a light glaze of very pale red which was mixed with a touch of iridescent medium.
While that was still wet I wrote some script into the wet paint. When dry, I stamped the
brocade motif in red and added some copper designs.

These little beauties make great stocking stuffers.
Maybe you know someone on your gift list who would appreciate a mini book full of color.

This is going to be a Red and White week.

This card was made using the assembly line process.

Lay your cards on your work table. Get your watercolors ready. Grab that two inch wide brush

and W-H-OOOOOO-S-H it across each consecutive card.

Remove your cat from the worktable....important step!

Of course,,,laughing all the way and making spirits bright,,,don´t forget a splash of water here and a spritz of paint there. I told you to remove the cat didn´t I. Add a few fibers and presto....you have yourself a one layer card ready for the post.

Over at Keep It Simple they are displaying lots of Christmas cards,,,go have a look.
