Watercolor Sled

I did a little watercoloring and die-cutting today.

I picked three "ombre worthy" colors and painted them onto a small piece of watercolor paper with a waterbrush.

In the Meadow is my go to Christmas stamp & die set, which I paired with the snowflakes from Winter Penguin.

This is for my nephew~he has a birthday in December, and I am always scrambling to make him a card at the last minute!

He lives in Hawaii, but got to visit one snowy winter and had a blast.

The snow drifts were traced with a white pen along the squiggly Movers & Shakers die.

 

I know I've made his cards in the past with this sled boy~so I'm glad I could make it a little different using this fun technique from

Make It Monday #251:Gradient Watercolor Die Cuts

 Now to find a place to keep this card, so I remember I made it!

Thanks for stopping by friends~
