Love and Joy

Hi everyone! Ilina here! Did you hop yesterday and see all the amazing projects using the new Oh What Fun holiday goodies?

Today I am sharing a card using the Christmas Squirrels Stamp & Cut from the new catalog.

To make the card I started with a 3 3/4" x 5" panel of watercolor paper. I stamped the images and sentiment a couple times using my MISTI (for nice saturated coverage) and new Intens-ified Black ink and quickly embossed with Ultra Fine embossing powder.

Using a water brush and brush markers, I watercolored the scene. Let it dry and using fun foam, adhered it to a Chestnut top folding note card that I made from a 4 1/4" x 11" piece of cardstock scored at 5 1/2".

Thanks for stopping by and hope you have a creative day!
