Hello, friends! Are you ready for winter and holiday cards?

I know it seems early for winter but Christmas will be here before we know it. Lol. I have a fun and simple watercolor bokeh technique to help inspire you to get in the wintry mood. It is so easy to do with stamps and ink cubes. Let’s get inky!

Something to Keep You Warm

Unity Stamp Company is kicking off August with a BIG release celebration. I’m starting with this cute little penguin delivering some goods. I had this idea to create a bunch of circles in wintry colors and started looking through all my supplies to see what would be fun to make. I saw the A-round & A-round stamp set and instantly wanted to create fun watercolor circles similar to the bokeh photography effect.

Distress Ink colors: Lumberjack Plaid, Broken China, Hickory Smoke

Technique Tip: This is not just for winter! Change up the colors or theme for any occasion. The watercolor circles would make great bubbles or balloons too.
