Watercolor Wishes

Happy December!!! Welcome to the 25 days of Christmas, I hope to post a new project, idea or thought each and every day of December. A way for me to share my holiday journey with you and what I discover along the way! Today I feel like a spring coiled up and ready to bounce! I LOVE Christmas I love most everything about it!I'm pretty excited that it is finally here!!!
 I have a few holiday icons that I hold dear to my heart and the snowman is in my top 3 {I know- I grew up in Florida  what do I know about snowmen?!!!} Let me tell you....I did get the chance to make one or two when I was a kiddo, and it was so much more fun than building sandmen on the beach!!  :) I have never forgotten how proud I was of that lopsided snowman with stick arms, and rocks for eyes! Sigh...good times! :)

This charming tall white and handsome snowman is in the Stampin'Up! "snow much fun" stamp set. I stamped him on watercolor paper and embossed him with clear powder over black craft ink. I have water colored the image with SU markers and an aquapainter. The gentle cascade of pearls look like 3D snowflakes!! I just love this card, and its bold pop of orange!

 A teeny layer of mica flakes makes a sparkly snow covered ground, and a tag adorned with bitty jingle bells is one of my favorite details on this card, those bells are just adora-belle! *giggle*

 I'm on my way to pick out a Christmas tree!! Mr. Wonderful likes to shake out the tree, and make sure there are no bare spots, and he has to get a Douglas fir..... its the Fowler family tradition!!! I tried talking him into a flocked tree this year....not going to happen LOL  "See" you tomorrow!
