Here's the second card for the Merry Monday "Hearts" challenge:
I created a background with red and green brushos, sprinkled on
watercolour paper and spritzed. The blue and yellow is actually part of
the green brusho crystals! When dry, I dug out an old stamp of a
Christmas heart - if you look closely you'll see it has holly leaves on
it. Stamped it with my MISTI to get a good impression and heat embossed
it. I added it to a red border and a cream cardbase.
I'm still working on my quota for June and July for Christmas cards, and June's SCS Christmas Card Challenge is to use pearls on a card, so I used my cream pearl pen to add dimension to the pearls in the image and to add a few random pearls to the background.
And it's for today's Mixed Media challenge at SCS - "Love It" (to use something you love). I love my brushos and I love making Christmas Cards. Plus it's a heart and the word "love" is in the sentiment so it fits all round!
Love your background and the heart stamp. Thank you for joining us at Merry Monday!
