Hi there! It’s Cheiron Brandon and I am back with another fun tutorial using the brand-new Distress Oxide Minis and the new Distress Rock Candy Chunky Glitter to create a fun set of super quick and easy holiday cards with the perfect touch of sparkle.

Step 1: Cut your Distress Watercolor panels to 4 x 4. Gather your Mini Distress Oxides in Kitsch Flamingo, Candied Apple and Evergreen Bough.

Step 2: Ink the brushstroke stamps using the Mini Distress Oxides. Stamp your first color in the center. Clean the stamp.

Step 3: Turn the stamp to face the opposite way and ink it with another color of Mini Distress Oxides. Stamp above the first color, very slightly overlapping.

Step 4: Repeat the previous step with another color of Mini Distress Oxides, underneath the first two stamped brushstrokes. Let dry or dry with heat tool.

Step 5: Using Black Soot Distress Archival Ink, stamp the sentiment.

Step 6: Using Black Soot Distress Archival Ink, stamp the tree once onto the card, then onto a scrap piece of Distress Watercolor Cardstock.

Step 7: Color in the tree stamped onto the scrap piece using a Distress Watercolor Pencil in Mowed Lawn. Leave some white space to mimic snow.

Step 8: Cut the tree image out, then foam tape it to the card panel, lining it up with the tree that is previously stamped on the panel.

Step 9: Add some glossy accents over the tree image.

Step 10: Sprinkle on Distress Rock Candy Chunky Glitter and let dry.

Step 11: Add the panel to a 4 ¼ square card base using foam tape.
I hope you enjoyed creating these fun and sparkly cards with me!
