The beautiful Bauble stamp set by Stampin Up makes a gorgeous watercoloured Christmas card

Beautiful Bauble watercoloured

A couple of days ago I saw a video where fellow demonstrator Alisa Tilsner aka The Artful Stamper made a card using the gorgeous Beautiful Bauble stamp set and I had to try CASEing it myself.

Making the Beautiful Bauble card

I started with a panel of Watercolor Paper 4½” by 3”. I rubbed the Embossing Buddy over the paper to get rid of oils and static before stamping the large bauble randomly across the panel with Versamark ink. I then covered the panel in White Embossing Powder and heat set it using my Heat Tool.

I chose to colour my baubles using HighIand Heather and Coastal Cabana and added a couple of drops of each of the re-inkers to a clear block. I then added water to one bauble using an Aquapainter, picked up some of the re-inker with the Aquapainter and added it to the bauble. I love the way the ink moves in the water. I coloured each bauble one at a time.

When all the baubles were coloured in I left the panel to dry before adding it with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive to a layer of Coastal Cabana cardstock measuring 4¾” by 3¼”. This panel was then glued to a layer of Whisper White cardstock measuring 4⅞” by 3⅜”. The whole piece was then added to a Highland Heather card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

The sentiment was stamped in Versamark onto a scrap of Gorgeous Grape cardstock and covered with White Embossing Powder. I heat set it using my Heat tool before adding it to the front of the card with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

I absolutely love this card, it is gorgeous and so easy to make. I will try it in some other colours.
