Studio Monday with Nina-Marie: Easy Texture with Watercolor + Thanksgiving Scene!
Hello crafty friends, it’s Nina-Marie Trapani here with you and I have a Fall/Thanksgiving card to share with you today. I’m using our new Mushroom House die because I thought it was cozy and perfect for a the Autumn season!
I watercolored the die with my Prima Watercolor Confections, making sure to add texture and detail to things like the top of the mushroom, stem and rocks. The Simon Says Stamp Stitched Maple and Stitched Oak Leaf dies are layered in multiple colors behind the mushroom for that Fall vibe!
I wanted to continue the colors on the card into the background, so I used Distress Oxide inks to blend Walnut Stain, Crackling Campfire, Wild Honey and Peeled Paint for that warm Autumn look.
For a sentiment, I went with something simple and just gold embossed the word “blessings” from CZ Design’s All The Thanks stamp set.
This cozy card would be perfect for sending to family and friends for the Thanksgiving season. You could change the sentiment to reflect exactly what you want to say. Be sure to watch the video to see how I made this card!

Doodling with Debby: Watercolored Winter Scene
Hi friends! Happy Sunday, and welcome back to another delightful edition of our Doodling with Debby monthly blog feature with Debby Hughes! Be sure to watch the video for more information and enjoy!
Hello, Debby Hughes here. In today’s video, I’ll be creating a little winter scene with watercolouring and ink blending using the Santa’s Sleigh Ride Slider set.
This is a card of two parts, a busy ink blended sky with a calm watercolored scene underneath.
I use this method of writing a step-by-step instruction on my blog and thought you’d like it here too, although the video goes into things in more detail:
- Stamp the winter scene from the Santa’s Sleigh Ride Slider set in Versafine Clair Nocturne ink.
- Stamp the scene again on Simon Says Stamp masking paper, trim out and lay over the one on the watercolored card.
- Blend Distress Inks over the sky – Spun Sugar, Wilted Violet, Weathered Wood, Hickory Smoke, Stormy Sky and Black Soot.
- Splatter the sky with white gouache and leftover paint.
- Swipe Wendy Vecchi White Embossing Paste through the Large Falling Snow stencil.
- Lift the mask and watercolour the winter scene. I used Daniel Smith paints.
- Trim the watercolored panel to fit an Ivory A2 card base and attach with foam adhesive.
- Stamp a greeting from the CZ Design Good Cheer set in Versamark Ink on Black card and white heat emboss.
- Trim the sentiment to a skinny banner and add with foam adhesive.
Well, that’s me for this month. I hope you enjoyed this tutorial. Thanks for joining me and I hope to see you next time for Doodling With Debby.

November 2020 Card Kit Inspiration with Kristina Werner
Hi all! Kristina here! I have some more card kit inspiration for you today, this time with the stamp set from the November 2020 Card Kit! The Big Thanks Autumn stamps have a large sunflower and leaves images that as just begging to be painted!
I first stamped my greeting on the some 5×7 watercolor paper in waterproof black ink. Then I stamped the large image twice–once above the greeting area and once below. Then I got to painting!
Karin Brushmarker PRO markers are fun to work with and have beautiful color. I used the markers to paint both image areas.
For some shimmer, I splattered on one of the gold shades in the FineTec Pearlescent Watercolors 24 set. And because I wanted even more gold shimmer, I painted the edges of my watercolor panel, as well as over the large Thanks greeting.
Thanks for stopping by today! You can get the Big Thanks Autumn stamp set separately or as part of the November 2020 Card Kit. You can also subscribe to receive this kit and future kits.
