Snowflakes on purple background!

I started my production of Christmas Cards lately. This one is on a purple bokeh background with lavender heat embossed snowflakes and white Tonic Nuvo Drops and a German Christmas sentiment.
In real life you can read the sentiment much better than on that picture.

First try!

This is my first watercolor card with bokeh technique I tried. I got so infected by that technique, that I already produced a dozen of those cards. You can't see it really good on the picture but I used the "Wink of stella brush glitter pen" on the little black stars. I used Tim Holtz Distress Inks for the watercoloring.

Lovely picture!

Yesterday, I created a few Valentine's Day cards. One for my hubby and three for my best friends. I send them a card as well, to tell them once more how glad I am to have them in my life.
One of my favorite technique is the bokeh technique on watercolors. Now I already know how to get the best results. That took a while. But meanwhile, I love the outcome.
