#1075 – Ready for Christmas

Hello and welcome. A few more days to Christmas and I’m probably posting the last post before this year ends. 🙂

This is another set of cards that I had made on commission. The basis of the idea was to form outdoor snowy scenes with critters and trees and moon and a sky lit with aurora.

All the scenes are watercolored. I used thick handmade watercolor paper for the background and used Gansai Tambi watercolors to color them, while I used Canson watercolor paper for the critters and Distress inks to color them. For the falling snow and the snow on the trees I used Gouache paint.

The images are from various stamp sets – Simon Says Stamp Warmest Wishes, Winnie & Walter Happy Owlidays and Winnie & Walter Sweet Holiday.

For the sentiment, I used the stamps from Simon Says Stamp Christmas Blessings.
