Happy Holidays - watercolour, embossing, 3-D embossing


'Tis the season of the holiday parties! My card features Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps, watercolouring with Caran d'Ache crayons and Finetec mica paints, 3-D embossing from Stampin' Up, and gold embossing. Cheers!


Putting It Together

I love water mediums and have collected a few. 



I stamped the image with Terrific Taupe on watercolour cardstock and used waterbrush with Caran d'Ache and Finetec for a festive party goer.


I used a 3D embossing folder to make the background with Stardream green-gold paper. I trimmed the image with a scalloped die and dry fit it with the background, a ribbon, and the sentiment to work out the design.


I adhered everything to a white card base using foam mounting tape to pop-up the image panel. I embossed the sentiment on black with gold and trimmed it with a scalloped die. I added snowflakes from Micheals a couple years ago to finish the front.


Inside, I used masking to stamp the sentiment in two colours.
