STAMPS: Framed in Flowers: Christmas
TIPS:
- When painting watercolors, if you add wet paint onto wet paper, your paint will move more and give you soft blends (this is great for the first layer of color). When you put wet paint on dry paper, you get sharp details.
- Add a little bit of water to acrylic paint to make an opaque white splatter.

DIES: Framed in Flowers: Christmas, This is Big Sentiments: XL Happy Holidays
TIPS:
- Die cut the Framed in Flowers stamp before coloring the frame- that way if you are slightly off in your die cutting, you can easily hide it with the coloring.
- If your background is light (like my blue), you can paint the whole image in blue first and not worry about having to paint around anything. The darker colors of the leaves and berries will cover the light background.
