Faux Water Colour and Gold Christmas

Posted on September 10, 2025 by mymessycraftroom5

I know it’s a bit early for Christmas cards but…. Every year I tend to not have enough, so I’m starting early this year. I found this beautiful pack of paper that looks like water colour painting or alcohol ink. I don’t know why but I really wanted to make a Christmas cards out of it.
