Hey Friends! I am popping into today with another collab guest post from Doodles Paper Playground and The Rabbit Hole Designs. Today I have combined DPP's Oh Christmas Tree and TRHD's Pawlidays stamp set.

For my card today, I stamped out the image and two of the sentiments to create the focal image on some watercolor paper.

Using a muted pallette, I watercolored in the image. (Is it just me, or are these two simply too cute!). The watercolor paper got adhered to an A2 card frame.

I added a bunch of the green Oh Christmas Tree sparkle blend sequins onto the floor of the card, hoping it looked like the pups knocked over holiday baubles.

I also added some little stars into the christmas tree added a large star to the top of the tree, and a couple of sequins around the sentiment.

So, did it work? Was I able to make the Sparkle Blends work with the watercolor art? I like to think I did, but there are still moments when I wonder. Let me know in the comments below what you think. Until then, happy crafting.

And now for a little more Christmas in July! I am bringing you a Sparkly Christmas Tree! Check this out!

This project features the fabulous Oh Christmas Tree and Old St. Nick Sparkle Blends. These two work together so well and allowed me to use the fabulous elements from both blends to give me tiny Santas, Tiny Christmas Trees, stars for both the sky and to decorate the tree. There are so many fun elements in these blends!

I created my background using Catherine Pooler Inks in Juniper Mist, Suede Shoes and It's A Boy, and have applied these with Taylored Expressions Blending Brushes. I then used Lawn Fawn Stitched Hillsides to create my snowy layers and attached these with Scor-Tape. Then I stamped and colored up the tree from a stamp set from Stamps of Life called Christmastree2stamp and cut it out with the coordinating die set. I colored it up with Copics in G03, G05 and G09. The sentiment is also from the same set and I stamped it using the same Catherine Pooler Juniper Mist ink. I then adhered the Sparkle Blends to my project using a combination of glue dots and On Point Glue.
