Happy Christmas

Hello. Playing in the Freshly Made Sketch challenge today (which I rotated) and I also paired it with the TGIF challenge of Christmas in July.


This card gave me fits trying to get a good photo of it. In real life it sparkles - and it was so hard to capture that.

I used broken china distress oxide ink on the snowflakes and the marbled watercolor paper in the background. The snowflakes also got a layer of blue pearl embossing powder from Hero Arts. I really like how it gives them a pearl/metallic look. Added a rhinestone to the centers for more bling. The sentiment is from Technique Tuesday. Snowflake embossing folder is from Sizzix. Navy cardstock is used as a base and to layer the watercolor panels.

Thanks for dropping in.
