PTI One Layer Christmas Card
I've done watercolor backgrounds, but never thought to use that technique for just a section of the card like Betsy shows for this week's PTI MIM Watercolor Smooshing challenge. Decided to use one of my favorite PTI sets, Snowflake Flurries. I used PTI Royal Velvet & Enchanted Evening for the background & to stamp the snowflakes. A wet paintbrush dipped in the left over inks was used to add splotches before the sentiment from the same set was stamped in Brilliance Graphite Black.
Stickles provide a bit of bling & I still have a flat card for mailing & to enter the One Layer Christmas Card Challenge. Thanks so much for taking time to stop by. I'll catch up on your blogs soon.
Edited to add: Thanks to Jessi I'm also entering the Splatters challenge at Just Us Girls.
