Watercolor a background for the Holly Collage and add a bright message from the Bold Christmas Greeting Clear Stamp Set. Add the look of washi tape with a stamped strip from the greeting set too! Hello, Jean Okimoto here with a quick card for your busy schedule.
Create a palette of inks by pressing the Fresh Greens Kaleidacolor inkpad onto a large acrylic block. Paint a square of watercolor paper with random, overlapping shades of green. Let the inks mix and mingle for a few minutes - then heat-set them.
Cut white cardstock with the 3" x 4-¼" Rectangle Basics die. Cut it with the Leaf Collage. Cut a 2-¾" x 4" piece of the watercolored paper and attach it behind the collage.
Stamp the striped strip with VersaFine Smokey Gray and quickly emboss it with detail clear powder. Trim it using the long edge of one of big Rectangle Basics dies. It'll have nice edges - and it's easier than cutting a skinny strip w/ a paper trimmer.
Stamp the greeting from the Bold Christmas Greetings Die Set with VersaFine Clair Charming Pink and quickly emboss it. Cut the words with the coordinating dies from the Bold Christmas Greetings Clear Stamps. Cut an extra set of the greetings and layer it behind the stamped pieces for extra dimension. I keep many of my die sets on shower curtain hooks for easy access and organization.
Attach the diecuts to an A-6 (4-½" x 6-¼") textured white card. Add dark pink gem stickers.
