Good Evening
or maybe
Good Morning!
I can't believe I've been able to craft my little heart out this week! It's been hot, muggy and rainy off and on the past week or so. We visited my mom and she came back with us for a few days. Then after taking her back to South Carolina I decided to have another week of laziness except for crafting (and eating, one must eat-LOL). Now I have lots to share!
The first ones are not the first ones I made. They're a couple of the last ones. I received the Catherine Pooler Colorbursts this week that I had ordered and so I tried them out. These two cards are the results of a background I created using the colorbursts and a new CP Stencil, Bear Grass.
As you can see I created two cards from one background. I used the papertowel technique on them. I placed a stencil on top of some watercolor paper and then re-wet a soaked paper towel from previous CP Colorburst creations and just dabbed it around on top of the stencil. I love how it came out! It looked like a winter wooded scene so of course, I had to make Christmas cards!

You sure looked like you had fun with your new colourbursts and stencil. What beautiful and winter effects. The designs on both cards are stunning and so very unique.....Extra fun idea to make one as a shaker card x
Your paper towel background does look like a winter sky, Nance! And that stencil is perfect as it looks like a forest. I love both of these! I'm glad you've had time to craft. Eat, Sleep, Craft, Repeat.
What a beautiful background you made with your new Colorbursts and stencil, Nance! It does look like a winter forest, and I love the soft and dreamy mix of colors behind the trees. You put this scene into the snowglobe beautifully. The second shaker card is bright and fun! The contrast between the serene forest front panel and the jazzy shaker element is wonderful. So glad to see your card in the CAS Mix Up gallery. Thank you!
