Falling for the Holidays - Gina K and Couture Creations

Created another card using stash I’ve never touched before! I’m on a mission to try out new things… so here goes! I pulled out an old red metallic paper and a discontinued Scrolled Tomentosa Couture Creation's die set. Then I went on the hunt for paper that would match! Found an old metallic striped paper I thought matched well and a cute cardinal design paper. Well… then I had to find a cardinal! And I found an older discontinued Gina K kit called Peace and Joy that I used for the image and sentiment. 

I watercolored the image using a cheap watercolor paper and an online picture of a cardinal. I ended up fussy cutting him out! I stamped the sentiment and added silver embossed leaves from a Unity Kit around the sentiment. After that it was just a matter of die cutting the pieces and adding sequins and red crystals.

Must admit, this is far from my usual style, but I’m having fun trying out new (but really old) stuff! Well, thanks for stopping by!
