My first card features the Home for the Holidays Stamp set in the Stamp TV kit. I also used the coordinating dies, patterned paper, and cardstock that all comes with this amazing kit.
My next card features the Music Background Stamp from the kit along with the snowflake stamps & Dies from the Home for the Holidays set and a sentiment from the Holiday Frame set that I will feature tomorrow.
My final project today is a fun Christmas tag using the Home for the Holidays set along with a tutorial on how I colored and then fixed a coloring mistake ~ ;)
Step 1: Trim cardstock tags (Jelly Bean, Kraft, Red Velvet), stamp the background with a small snowflake using the same color ink, and then add coordinating patterned paper from the kit.
Step 2: Stamp the mitten image on watercolor paper with black pigment ink and heat emboss with clear embossing powder.
Step 3: Using a water brush and the Turquoise Sea Gina K ink pad, color the mittens taking the ink directly from the ink pad.
Step 4: Using Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers in Geranium Red and Turquoise Green, color the hearts and stripe on the mittens. Use the Turquoise ink pad to color the top of the mitten.
OOPS!
Step 5: When you mess it up and you can't recover no matter how much water you add, stamp it again... recolor! :) Yup... it happens to everyone. I didn't want to start over completely, so I decided to show you how I fixed my little boo boo. The second time I stamp it, I colored the light blue first then added the red on the hearts.
Step 6: I trimmed just the pieces I needed and covered the mistake. You can't even tell!

Beautiful. Thanks for the tip on fixing your watercolor mistakes. I can't tell you the number of times I have thrown something away because the colors bled. I will try this the next time.
