Hello December! (How can it be already!?) A new month means it's time for a new limited edition stamp set from Impression Obsession. This month's set is just in time to create beautiful winter cards well into the new year. Today, we'll look at two simple watercolored card ideas featuring the stamps from this lovely new stamp set.

These beautiful birds were begging for an extra clean and simple card. The puddle of blue watercolor was the perfect landing spot for this simple scene. After watercoloring the birds and branch, I brushed on a puddle of water, and adding lots of rich blue color. This card is finished off with a simple sentiment (I'm loving those fonts!) plus a few white iridescent sequins.
Next up, a cozy winter scene. . .I started by painting the houses - don't want to spend much time? Just add some yellow to the windows for a warm glow! Next, I layered some shades of blue to create the sky and snow. (Don't forget the snowy rooftops!) A little glitter would be another fabulous way to finish off this scene. I couldn't resist the same sentiment and sequins for this card. . .it just felt so perfect.

I love your watercoloring! Gorgeous kit!
Great watercoloring the new kit release. The village and birds are amazing!
I love your color combos on these pretty cards! The village scene is my favorite image in the kit! The birds are beautiful too!
Terrific cards! Terrific kit! I love anything with winter houses - it makes me feel so warm and cozy! Would love to see it on some scenic backgrounds. Great job!
I especially love the houses. What a pretty scene
The birds are so lovely perched among the branches and your village scene is so quaint!
Both cards are wonderful, and I love the birds in the puddle Thanks for the tip on the yellow windows!
The water coloring effect is so pleasing. Nicely done.
Wow!! I love both of your water colored cards.
Hello.. :) Both of your cards are so sweet. The window glow is a great idea. I like cas and Christmas is perfect for a lot of white in the background making the card so very nostalgic. Merry Christmas Ms. Laura
