I made these Christmas cards to be included in a prize for a fundraising event in October. I have been researching watercoloured Christmas cards and ornaments is a recurring theme. There are a wide range of tutorials on how to make them and finish them off!! Somewhere along the way I either read or deduced that I could use a glass to create a perfect circle for my ornament which would be easily be filled in with watercolour and a steady hand. I cut my watercolour paper to 3.5" x 5" and then made all my ornaments. I added some splatter to some of them in colour and also in gold and silver. I need to practice because it is not really as good as my sister does on hers. After they pressed for a day I trimmed the sheets to 3.5" x 4.75 inches so they would work centered on an A2 card. I added a ribbon and an ornament cap at the top using a fine tip black Sharpie and then coloured the cap with silver or gold watercolour. I added four lines of paper piercing using my pattern tracing wheel and mounted them to metallic cardstock and then onto coordinating card fronts. Really happy with these!!!!! I have blogged the process I used to make these ornaments here. Therese
