November Card Club - Card #1 - Christmas cards featuring watercolour and glitter

 This was our first card for our November cardmaking session!!  With Christmas as our theme it was fun to create a watercolour image decorated with glitter.  We started by drawing an outline - an ornament (circle) or a tree (triangle).  We watercoloured them to coordinate with our backgrounds.  Once dry, we added decorations using white glue in a fine tip applicator sparingly.  We sprinkled them with gold glitter and set them aside to dry.  After adhering our background papers to our card fronts we moved on with our other cards and finished these at the end of our session.  I had prepared the watercolour paper (2.5" x 4") by gold embossing the greeting near the bottom using a guide so they would be even with the edge.  Once the glue and glitter was dry (some were not quite dry because the glue had been applied too generously) we embellished them with paper piercing using a pattern tracing wheel, a star or hanger and then added them to our card fronts using 3D foam tape.  I love how they turned out!!!!  Therese
