Today's card features the beautiful Impression Obsession Poppy Field Cling Stamp which I have stamped using Ink On 3 Fadeout ink pad & water coloured using Altenew's Watercolour pans.

I have used this lovely image once before and coloured the poppies in purple last time so I wanted to go with the more traditional orangey red colour & I also added some freehand blades of grass to the image using my paintbrush.

I added some "flicks" of paint and Winsor & Newtons White Gouache & once dry I stamped "Thinking Of You" from Simon Says Stamps Sketched Flowers clear stamp set.

My image has been stamped using Memento tuxedo black ink, coloured with my copics and then fussy cut. My sentiment is die cut using Simon Says Stamps Rounded Alphabet wafer dies with gold glitter cardstock.

To create my watercolour background instead of letting the different colours of watercolour paint dry like I usually would I added lots of water and let the water do the work and let the different colours mix and blend into each other. Once dry I added a couple of stamped faces from the Hey Pumpkin stamps set and added a few splatters of Pinata Rich Gold Alcohol ink.

On today's card I am featuring Lawn Fawn Winter Skies Clear stamps which I have stamped using Memento and coloured with my copics.

 I have created a shaker the front of my card by die cutting Altenew Watercolour Stripes Cover Die using Simon Says Stamp Woodgrain cardstockI've stamped the flying Santa using black pigment ink onto my die cut cover and then filled in the grooves in the card using a copic multiliner pen & mounted my die cut panel using fun foam

I ink blended Stormy Sky, Broken China & Salty Ocean Distress Inks over a piece of white card and once dry added some flicks of white gouache before filling my shaker with a mix up of different sequins & adding a few Simply White Crystal Drops.
