After seeing Kathy's (muscrat) fabulous card which you can see here I smooshed and cased her for an entire month! Love the watercolor effect without actually having to watercolor! This one was easy. Smooshed the background, cut a Tim Holtz tree from shimmer sheetz and mounted. Added a few tiny nailheads and framed in gold Shimmer sheetz. Stamped the sentiment and embossed in gold. Thanks for stopping by.

Wow Nancy! This is amazing! I love the look of the gold shimmer sheetz (are those from Elizabeth Craft?) Your gold on top of the beautiful "water color look" bg is so striking and gorgeous!!! I love this card and to top it off, those little gold dots/nail heads are too cool! Sensational my dear friend!

That smooshing does look very watercolory, and it's beautiful behind that tree diecut! Just the perfect colors. An elegant holiday card! And how industrious are you to have gotten a start on them!

Bestill my heart Nancy- this is absolutely STUNNING! The colors you used for the smooshing are so soft and elegant. I have never tried this before but may try to do it now because the effect is so great. Cutting this gorgeous tree die out of gold shimmer sheetz is beyond fantastic. I have never thought to die cut from shimmer sheetz before, but I will definitely try it now. I really love the elegant joy sentiment you used here. The gold frame and the tiny gold nail heads are the perfect finishing touch. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this card Nancy! Wow! ~Karen.
