I'm sure Christmas will be here before we know it, but for now I'll enjoy the nice sunny weather. Here in Canada, summer was late in coming, and I'm hoping winter will be dragging it's heels too!
I had a play this afternoon, with this pretty stamp from Wild Rose Studio and some watercolours. I really need to get busy making my Christmas cards. It would be such a shame if I had to buy some!
I tried something a little different here, with the Joy Crafts die, for the backing behind the image. First I cut it from the green dp, then again from white cardstock. After gluing the dp to the red cardstock, I inserted the white piece into the empty space. This allows the red to show through and also gives me a patterned die cut for another card.
I finished it off with a few gold touches and a sentiment, heat embossed in white.
Thanks for stopping by, and I hope you enjoyed your visit.
