Hello there...
Thanks so much for stopping by, I hope you are all well.
Just a couple more Christmas cards to share today...
Some of you thought that I added those baubles to the pine branch when I used it on a previous card but it's all one stamp that I bought years ago at Inkylicious. After stamping it and the lower branch which is also part of the set, I painted them with prima watercolour. I find by flicking the paintbrush along the branches it gives a more realistic effect
Then with gold paint I added tiny berries, stamped and painted the little bird and baubles and added some glitter 'snow'.
For the second card I painted leaves in a circle to make a wreath, this time adding red berries. I also painted a branch but used the same little bird stamp
The frame was one I had from AliExpress in case you are wondering
Please stay well and safe my friends...
Till soon

Absolutely love both cards, Ros! Think I need to case the wreath card--just the inspiration I needed!
I need that frame!!
Gorgeous cards Ros. x
Two more gorgeous cards Ros and love the colors and the frame is so pretty round each with beautiful stamped foliage and the baubles and sweet little bird, and then some more of your own painting on that super wreath and again the little added robin, wonderful glitter snow on both too. x
This little bird is so sweet in the woodsy scene and with that dainty wreath! Love the vellum sentiments and bits of snow!
Absolutely beautiful and, wow, that's quite the frame! Your painted wreath is the most lovely thing. I'm feeling inspired, Ros!
Beautiful stamped and painted pine branches with pretty baubles and sweet little bird for your 1st card. I love how you added the tiny gold berries and vellum sentiment. Your 2nd card with your painted leaves wreath with red berries, sentiment, branch and sweet bird is wonderful too. Love the framing on both cards too. TFS your beauties, my friend. Love and Hugs...Nancy
A video is in order....especially want to see how you colored the branches....flicking must mean something different to me - LOL!!!
Beautifully done ROS!

Oh, such lovely cards! Very pretty pine boughs, wreath, and sweet birds! And, I must mention the stunning frame, which is very eye catching! Well done, Ros!!
Beautiful Ros, your frame is perfect for such beautiful watercoloured cards. I think my favorite is your gorgeous wreath :)
Amzing frame - and gorgeous images and coloring! If I weren't in Christmas mode already, these cards would certainly take me there!
Two beautiful Christmas cards Ros! Love the branches and ornaments. Thanks for the tip about flicking the branches with ink to get a more realistic look. Love that sweet bird. Your wreath is gorgeous. Am loving the small vellum sentiments as well. xx
The tiny framing draws your eyes into the beautiful little scenes x. Great painting and loving those vellum sentiment strips too x. Yes a little lazy my end but my days are full and I run out of time...how does that happen? x.
Ros, these are both beautiful! Very festive, love the frame work, and your lovely painting. I really like the vellum sentiment as well adds elegance to both of your cards. Sorry so late for commenting! Hope your having a wonderful day.
Eye-catching framing for the beautiful watercolored images Ros! The vellum sentiment strip and the glittery snow are wonderful touches! The wreath is delicate and so pretty!
