Quick 10 Minute Card

November 8, 2018 - by Amanda Garrett

Quick 10 Minute Card

 

 

HI all and welcome back to Step It Out Thursday!  I know sometimes card making can seem a little overwhelming, but today I want to share a card that takes only 10 Minutes!

We all need those cards in a pinch but have you ever been invited to a Christmas party last minute and you need a fast card? Well this is just that card. It really only takes 10 minutes to make but it looks like it would take longer.

 

 

 

 

I stamped this out on watercolor paper and inked it up with Amalgam ink

Then I watercolored it up with distress ink. I love to watercolor it is such a fun technique and I really hope you give watercoloring a try!

Using distress ink I dipped my water brush in the ink and painted it on my branch. It really is just that simple!

I took my vintage distress ink and inked up my edges for a vintage feel.

 

 

 

I then took this adorable light set: Glowing & Beautiful 

I inked it up with Amalgam ink  and then colored it with distress inks. After it dried I fussy cut it out and put 3D foam dots behind the light bulbs. Placing them on the branches they look like Christmas lights.   SO FUN right!

I splatterd some white paint over everything to make it look like snow. Taking some string I warped it behind the lights and then behind the card.

This is a quick and simple card that only takes 10 minutes. Here is a Quick Video on how I created this fun fast card.

 

 

 

 

Well I hope you have enjoyed your stop here today, and as always keep stamping! See you next week.
