Was this ever my kind of challenge! It combined 3 things I love: water color, Asian and abstract. I had so much fun, I made two. Of course, I made them simultaneously, and since they are on the simple side, I was able to finish them both.
I used water color wash brushes and dye reinkers to make the abstract bg. I'm too impatient to let it dry, so I used the heat gun to speed things along. Then the reindeer (AL) and swirls (Inkadinkado) were black embossed.
I cut the white frame using my nestie rectangle set and did the resizing thing like I mentioned yesterday, to get the opening bigger. (You can see the tutorial for the nestie resizing right here: The Write Stuff Nestie Tutorial
The greeting tag (SG) was black embossed then I used a nestie circle on it. Pretty simple. (Card measures 4.25 x 5.50). TFL and close ups are on my blog: The Write Stuff
ETA: I forgot to link my inspiration: This I can't go directly to it but it is in the 3rd row.
