Cranberry Ink (C9 is out of stock, CP has a similar color I recommend)
This second card is a slimline with some dimension in mostly an Evergreen Palette with pops of Cranberry Red.
Evergreen Ink (C9 is out of stock, CP has a similar color I recommend)
To begin, I created a slimline card base measuring 8.5” x 3.66”. Next, I masked off the top half of the card with Purple Tape and blended over the top of the panel with Evergreen Ink using an Ergonomic Blender Brush from Pink & Main.
Then, I die cut and stamped the images from Merry Mantle Stamp & Die Bundle. Next, I arranged them all over the front of my card base, popping them up with foam tape. After that, I colored in the imaged with G09, G07, G05, G02, R39, R37, R35, & R32 Copic Markers. I like to keep the palette simple.
Next, I colored over the details of the stockings with a White Gel Pen. I stacked the NOEL die cuts three times with Bearly Art Glue and adhered them over the wreath.
To finish off the card, I adhered some Mistletoe Sequin Mix around the wreath and sentiment.
Thank you for joining me last night for the C9 ON THE 9S!!! You are welcome to post your C9 ON THE 9S projects on social media using hashtag #C9ONTHE9S & #imanartie. I’d love to see your creations across the socials!

This month’s collection will add several new additions to your Whimsy World stash with designs from Sandra Herrgott of Tiny Sparrow Design. Her drawings and illustrations will drop your jaw — just beautiful!
Join me tonight at 9:30PM EDT for a Del & Artie Live Episode highlighting the entire collection and doing some fun watercolor techniques.
To create this card, I picked a palette of pistachio, rose, lime green and yellows. This combination of colors happens to be very similar to the Whimsy World Packaging from Colorado Craft Company! Check it out!
I followed the same watercolor technique as my previous post, but I used more saturated colors here.
Also, I stamped the image in Chocolate Amalgam Ink. After drying the painting, I stamped the sentiment in Hero Arts Intens-ified Black Ink. Then, I added some faux splash dots with the Karin Gold Metallic Brush Pen and the Signo White Gel Pen.
To finish off my card, I cut my painting down to 3.25 x 8.25 inches and adhered it directly to a 3.5 x 8.5 Neenah Solar White Card Base.
I hope you enjoyed this project! Below you will find a grid of supplies for your convenience! You can also print this sheet out and store it in your important supplies list folder! Just click here to download!
