Hello Everyone ~ when I finish this card the first question I had was “Do you think this is a Christmas Card?”
Have you ever created a card and when you were finished you questioned as to whether it could be interpreted as a Christmas Card? I thought that when I finished my card for today. I thought I would use the Poinsettia Petals stamp set to create a fun flower. I used Poppy Parade to stamp the image twice. I used the watercolor bleed technique before I layered them to create my flower.
Once I had my flower created I was ready to create my card. Our latest challenge at Hand Stamped Sentiments Paper Crafting Challenges is a sketch challenge.
I used this sketch for the layout of my card. I love the layout of this card and can’t wait to use it for other cards.
