{BYSHC} Spring into Christmas Linky Party

  Hello, welcome to my first entry in the Spring into Christmas {BYSHC} Linky Party! You’ll find rules for playing, the list of sponsors and giveaways, and the entry link here! Also, check out the inspiration provided by design team members for getting those holiday ideas flowing!

For this holiday card, I used an older Brutus Monroe kit called Poinsettia Joy! I stamped the image onto Arches watercolor paper using Antique Linen oxide ink and painted it with my Schmincke watercolors. I used greens and blues, just because… ;)!  I then searched for matching holiday papers to back it and found a My Mind’s Eye collection called Sugar Plum. 

I stamped the sentiment using green and blue inks from Gina K and clear embossed it. I added spritzes of watercolor, white gouache, and gold Perfect Pearls. I used stick gold trim strips on the side of the paper, and added ribbon and gold crystals to complete the card.

Hope you enjoyed this one… now… your turn! Join in the fun and link up some pretty holiday cards!

Thanks for stopping by… till next time, happy crafting!
