First up, for the Addicted to CAS "Tree" challenge:
Stamped, watercoloured (including a shiny copper watercolour paint for the stars), trimmed with a wonky stitched rectangle die), bordered with copper cs, and added to a base made of a rustic cardstock flecked with copper.
Next up, for Christmas Cards All Year Round "Santa". I did two slightly different versions.
I watercoloured the stamped image, changing the colours of the sleigh and house in the two versions. I used two different sentiments and two different border treatments. To both cards, I added glitter to the snow line, tree, rooftop, and the trim on Santa's robe. I went over the snowflakes with a Stardust gel pen.
Supplies for card 1:
Stamps - Jofy tree
Ink - Archival Potting Soil
Paper - watercolour paper, copper cs, natural copper flecked cs
Size - A2
Accessories - watercolour paints, copper watercolour paint, MFT wonky stitched rectangle die
Supplies for card 2 & 3:
Stamps - unknown Santa stamp, A Muse sentiment on card 1
Ink - Archival Jet Black
Paper - watercolour paper; white, red, and gold cs
Size - A2
Accessories - watercolour paints, glitter, Stardust gel pen
