Hi everyone, I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and are getting ready for your New Year celebrations.
Our Group of Cardmakers technique for this month is Andy Skinners acrylic paint on coloured card. Andy used White on his card but any colour works well.
Sorry about all the Christmas cards but when I tried this technique out it became my go to for finishing my Christmas card stash, I had so much fun I couldn't stop. I used Gesso for the white on my cards and acrylic paint and Posca Paint pens for the other colours.
My First card is the Tim Holtz Snowman
My Second card is a Penny Black stamp and BetterPress Sentiment

Love all of your cards, Christine! The snowman looks fabulous on kraft but my favourite of the two kraft one is the birds - the red against the kraft is so striking. I'm surprised how much I like the ones on grey but they really look great. The sweet little bears on the bridge are adorable. The hammered cardstock frame on the cup of hot chocolate gives lots of interest.
Awesome cards using this technique, Christine. I love that you used Gesso for the white ... another alternative to acrylic paint that works so well!! All your cards are beautiful. I love that just a little colour goes a long way on the coloured card stock bases. The colours stand out so much. Lovely! The image with the two bears on the bridge is Penny Black - Warmth of Friendship. The other one ... I can't find my new stamps and dies after cleaning off my table to wrap Christmas gifts. :) I will come across them at some point. :) Great work with this technique, Christine!! Love, Loll
I love the look of the pretty images on the grey and the kraft Christine, and your kraft card is quite a light colour and shows off the red birds and green hanging baubles beautifully, and the both the cute bears and the snowmen work brilliantly on the grey with more beautiful red, green and white..lots of wonderful contrasting tones including those lit street lamps with the yellow light..wonderful. x
Beautiful selection of cards love all the cute stamps on the coloured backgrounds-a great technique.

Stunning cards, Christine! Jo x
WOW!!! Christine, your cards are breathtaking. I use white crayon on gray or craft paper, but it turns out you can achieve such a spectacular effect with acrylic paint... Thank you for the inspiration and for sharing your cards. I love them all.

These are all amazing, Christine! I love the snowman and the pop from the red cardinals is fantastic!
You got wonderful results with this technique, Christine! The white is so crisp and bright!
All fantastic! Brilliant use of Gesso as your white medium. Love all the cute adorable images, too.
Hi lovely lady, these are all absolutely gorgeous, this whole design and colours is just perfect ♥
What a great way to finish up your Christmas cards! All wonderful stamps and looking beautifully colored on the kraft and gray. I wish you a happy new year, Christine!
What a lovely group of Christmas cards Christine! The acrylic paint and POSCA pens are much more vibrant than inks I think - I color a lot of my better press cards with them. Julia xx
Wow, these are fantastic. I've never seen this done and I love the cards and the stamps you used. Great idea and wonderful cards.
