I've created 2 cards using this month's Stamp set. This first card is pretty simple, I stamped the string and the clear lightbulb along the left side of the card base. Then using the new watercolour paints, I dabbed yellow, red, green and blue paint.  To keep them a little more translucent I then used some tissue to take some of the paint away.

For my second card, I started with some White Pines patterned paper, and added some gold shimmer trim to the bottom of the card. then using the ornament stamp which has a coordinating cut from the Artiste cartridge. I stamped the image in Fern and Cranberry, both these colours are found in the patterned paper.  I used 3D foam tape to pop the ornaments. I used some twine which was left over from a previous years WOTG kit to hang the ornaments.  The sentiment is stamped in 3 stages.  First I used the back side of the circle of stars and stamped it in 2nd generation to create the base, then I stamped it the right way using Fern Ink.  Noel is stamped in Cranberry. This is also popped using 3D foam tape.
