Loose Watercolor Scene + Pinkfresh Studio Holiday Cards Blog Hop!

Hello crafters, it’s Nina-Marie here with you today! Welcome to our stop in the Pinkfresh Studio Holiday Cards blog hop! I am featuring Pinkfresh Studio stamps and dies as I create a loosely watercolored scene with a shaker too!

The Home for the Holidays stamp set comes with these darling houses that work with a coordinating die, which makes a great window and shaker!

I love to watercolor, and throughout this card, I used a loose watercolor technique to color in the images and the sky. I used the Prima Watercolor Confections to do the coloring. The scene is embellished with snowflake sequins, White Blizzard Nuvo Drops,  and white gel pen details. This created a super pretty snow effect to the sky!

Because the coordinating die creates a window, it is perfect for making a shaker card! I filled the shaker with sequins, including white, blue and snowflakes.

I hope you are inspired to create something for the holiday season using Pinkfresh Studio stamps and dies!! Thank you for visiting with us today and enjoy the rest of the blog hop!

  1. Nina-Marie, you’ve created a lovely, magical scene…the kind I want to step into and wander through to drink in the beauty of the night sky and enjoy the warmth of the neighbourhood. Your loose water-colouring is sensational! Christmas spirit soaring in seeing your festive work-of-art!

  2. WOW Nina this is beautiful as a shaker, especially with the snowflake sequins in there. I really like the whimsical look that you achieved with the water colouring for this card. A lovely job!

  3. Nina this card is so very appealing & beautiful. You’ve captured the idea of a snowy winter night & the village looks so warm & cozy. I love cards with buildings & houses on them. Don’t know why, just do. :)

  4. I love the loose watercoloring you did on this card. It makes the card look vintage, which is one my favorite looks. Great job.

  5. Your card is gorgeous Nina! I love the snowy sky you created a around the village, all of the colours layered together looks amazing and the village is beautiful.

  6. So much Christmas energy in your card. The little houses evoke an old fashioned Christmas village. I love the little snowman peeking out.
