Watercolour

 Hello there.. I hope you are well

The weather is miserable but I can lose myself in watercolour. Today's Christmas cards are both watercolour, and stamping with a few of my own painted branches

 
The little watering can is a stamp you've seen on my cards before.. It's not from a Christmas set but an ordinary cheap set I bought online once in a sale. I like it when I can take a non Christmas stamp and in the right setting it just works.
The pine branches I painted and the berries are all done with perfect pearls... That stuff last for years!

Then there are two red watering cans


I did add the baubles to that lovely (Inkylicious) branch along with some berries
 

I have no idea how many Christmas cards I've done but the pile is now quite big...
I'll share some more soon
 
Have a peaceful day...Be well

Can't even pick a favorite Ros...they are all absolutely lovely!! Glad to hear your pile is growing quite large...mine is too and now all I need to do is sit down and sign them and address the envelopes...why is that always the hardest part?!! Hope the weather clears up for you soon, and have a great weekend! Hugs. :0)

Four more gorgeous cards Ros and love the central theme of the red watering can and the two different branches, with and without those pretty baubles and the robin and then some wonderful holly and berries. All the sentiments look great too. x

What pretty and unique cards Ros. The watering can sure does work in these adorable little Winter scenes x. Always loving your extra special little touches x.

Bonnie said...

I love that red watering can, Ros! It looks like that sweet robin likes it too! Love the addition of pine and holly boughs and the lovely ornaments on the tree branches!

Leslie Miller said...

I had to take time to savor each one in the close up. So lovely! The little bird is a darling addition in some, and I love the variety of extras in all the cards. Your hand-drawn pine sprigs are so soft and pretty. Wishing I'd kept my Perfect Pearls. So many things I didn't use back then, but would gladly use now.

What wonderful winter scenes you created, using the watering can stamp Ros! Both cards are so beautifully watercolored and painted! Looking forward to seeing many more!

Marina said...

Yes, I love that too - using a non-Christmas stamp for Christmas. These are really pretty cards and I always love a robin!

Pauline said...

I am so loving your cards Ros, all the details in each, and your hand painted pine branches, they look so real. Love the little bird as well. Oh yes I still have perfect pearls, but I seldom think to use them, they really add to your card!
Thanks for sharing, and look forward to seeing more of your artistic creations! Take care my friend,

LOVE all three of these amazing Christmas cards Ros. Stamping, watercolouring and adding your own drawings makes the perfect trifecto! :) These little watercans with all the Christmas finery are adorable! xx

Greta said...

Oh my goodness--how gorgeous!

Barbara said...

You proved it a zillion times already and did it one more time: you can turn any image into a Christmas one. Love the watering can scenes!
