Hi friends! I needed a baby girl card for a friend who is expecting right before Christmas. I wanted to do some copic coloring, but that wasn't working for me last night. Next choice was watercoloring a background. I first embossed this gingham background stamp with white embossing powder on watercolor paper, then used some distress ink and watercolored over it. I settled on just die cuts for the rest of the card. It was getting late and I was running out of ideas! Each one is stacked with three layers of cardstock and shimmered with a spectrum noir pen. The bow was done in the same manner. I added sequins (of course!) and rounded the corners.
I should be making more Christmas cards! I need quite a few and only have about five! One will be posted on Thursday for the Time Out challenge. Hope to see you then!
Thanks for stopping by!
