Artsy Arabia Christmas Cards - With Karyn Schultz!

  Hi Scrapping Clearly Lovelies!

It's Karyn here and today I have a set of 3 Christmas cards that I created using the Art-By-Marlene Artsy Arabia collection available at Scrapping Clearly! 

 

 

 I started by creating card bases using heavy weight white cardstock (10.5cm x 14.8cm). I cut the Artsy Arabia SCRAPBM01 paper to size 10cm x 14.3cm as a mat for the card base. I also cut more white down to 9cm x 13.3 cm to use as a background for my cards.

   I added paint to the backgrounds using Art-By-Marlene Bold and Bright watercolor paints - to give a watercolour wash effect. 

 

  

 I selected a number of the lantern elements from from the Artsy Arabia Die-Cut book - I thought these looked like Christmas ornaments.

Here is the first of my completed cards - I love the fun and quirky vibe with the Artsy Arabia collection. 

 

 

 The other 2 cards are created in a similar manner - just add a stamped Christmas sentiment to finish.

 

 Thanks so much for stopping by!
