This is for Alba's challenge. Again, adding to my Christmas stash, and specifically wanted to try Dini's Watercolor Ornament technique. I die cut ornaments from post it notes for a mask. I painted the bg greenery, then the ornaments. It is really hard to get the shine effect, but still happy with the results. Used the black pen to make the string and bow. What are they hanging from? lol Stamped sentiment onto vellum and used rhinestone brads to attach to watercolor paper.

Pretty ornaments and pine. I tried that technique a while ago, too, and really enjoyed it.

I think you did great with that technique - I haven't been brave enough to try it yet. The greenery looks really great! And the lightness of the vellum carries through with the soft watercolour look.
Beautiful card! I love your water coloring and think the shine on the ornaments looks great! Glad you used vellum, wouldn't want you to cover up all your beautiful work.
Love it, I need to try that technique! For sure you will make someone's Christmas very merry with this card Thanks so much for joining my challenge, happy to have you, Big Hugs!
