One thing I learned in 2018 is that I need (NEED) to keep on top of my Christmas card creating all through the year. But because of all my Design Team work, I knew I couldn't keep running Muse: ChristmasVisions (let me know if you're interested in taking it (or Muse, for that matter) on!)
My friend Lindsey is now on the DT of a new-to-me Christmas challenge - the ABC Christmas Challenge. This month's theme is A (Anything Goes) and B (Berries).
I had this card left from the latest Catherine Pooler release (the next Stamp of Approval collection is coming soon!!) and so I'm going to link up for Anything Goes.
I started with a square panel of watercolour cardstock. I painted a loose circle with It's a Boy (and lots of water) and let it dry. Then I did a smaller circle of Fiesta Blue over top. Then Something Borrowed, Suede Shoes, Juniper Mist and Royal Treatment. I love the graphic look!
When it was all dry, I inlaid the Delicate Snowflake into the panel and added a sparkly enamel dot as a centre. The sentiment is from Holiday Mittens.
I used:
This color scheme is so eye catching. I love that black snowflake. Its definitely case-worthy!
ReplyDeleteThis is QUITE BEAUTIFUL!!!! ;)LOVE the ombre with the water colors! AND your black snowflake just POPS! ;)
