So Very Merry

Hi – hope it’s a great weekend for you! Jean Okimoto here today – with a contemporary holiday design to share.

We usually see a big Christmas tree and a smallish greeting, right? Combine a small tree and a big greeting for a change. The triangles are all perfectly straight - so angle the 'merry' for a cheery, upbeat look. Just a few of the little details I obsess over when I design something (smile).

I love stamping over watercolored backgrounds – like this one – then embossing over it. The new Small Triangle Tree is a great look for clean and simple designs. Scribble the watercolor pencils over the tree, then blend and spread the colors with Ink Potion no. 9, an ink blending solution. Paint some Fireworks! Pear Tart over it for a warm, shimmery glow.

Add the Merry Cursive diecut, some sequins…and that’s it!
