Spread Christmas Cheer with a Colorful Watercolor Card {FSJ}

The best way to spread Christmas cheer is...making cards for all the people. (Or singing loud for all to hear...that works too.) I am thrilled to share this new card with you today, because it's one of my new favorites! Plus, I used a BRAND NEW stamp set, called Whimsy Trees - and beginning tomorrow you can make this cuteness YOUR OWN. We're so excited about it, we're having a giant PARTY tomorrow - keep reading to find out more!

First, let's chat about this card. I'm using this rainbow technique on all.the.things lately, so be prepared to see a few cards over the coming weeks, using this basic idea. It's just so fun, and it never looks the same twice!

Want to create this colorful background? Here's how:

• Begin with a large clear acrylic block, around the size of your card base. Draw lines of liquid dye ink across the block. (FSJ Liquid Colors are perfect for this.) 
• Mist with water until colors begin to blend together slightly. 
• Flip a panel of watercolor paper over onto block. (FSJ Color Splash Sheet)
• Press paper down and then pick up and allow to dry. 

Once the Color Splash Sheet was dry, I trimmed it slightly and adhered it to a black card base.
I stamped and heat embossed the trees in white, onto black cardstock. Really - is there anything that DOESN'T look amazing in white on black? Paired with these bright colors, it just POPS in a big awesome way.

 I'm extra excited to share today's project with you because it kicks off the brand new Holiday Cheer collection coming from Fun Stampers Journey + Spellbinders.
