Playing along with the CAS challenge #387 - Christmas in July. Always looking to build my stash of Christmas cards.
Having more fun playing with my brushos.
This card starts with a dry embossed background that looks like falling snow to me. I love the embossing folder, but it's long discontinued. Thankfully my friend, Susanbri, supplies me with lots to use. Thanks Susan!
I then heat embossed in clear onto mixed media paper, a snowflake background stamp. I sprinkled brushos over top (turquoise and ultra marine) and sprayed with lots of water to move the colours.
I die-cut my heat embossed brushos background with a stitched tag die, added a silver foil snowflake, vellum banner with silver embossed sentiment, and some ribbon and cording at the top.
Another Christmas card for my stash.
For more details, and a second version, check out my blog.
