Merry & Bright

Happy Monday!!
We are continuing our awesome sketch challenge this week at Inky Paws!  I hope you've had the chance to play along!

I was feeling a bit festive this week and wanted to make a Christmas card.  Ever since my little girl Gwen came along, I have been super excited for Christmas.  I hope that I can make her first one absolutely spectacular ;)

So I pulled out the amazing Beautiful Baubles set and stamped them in black, then clear embossed them.  I used a couple blue shades and the black from my Gansai Tambi watercolor set and colored them in.  I also mixed in the white shimmer to the colors so each of the baubles has a great shimmer.

The background was watercolored and then splattered with that same white shimmer.  I die cut a piece of silver glitter paper with the Frames and Flags die set, and then cut my watercolor panel with the Frameworks set.  Added a glittery strip across the top and then stamped my sentiment on a watercolored circle die cut.  That sentiment is from the Sentiments of the Season set.

Adhered everything down onto a black mat and then sprinkled some white nuvo drops around the baubles.  So sparkly and awesome!!

I hope you'll join in for a chance to win a gift card to Newton's Nook!!
