Festive Friday Guest Designer






I received a happy email from Ardyth asking me I  would like to be a guest designer for Festive Friday .... Of course I said yes!!!


Mistletoe is from Serendipity Stamps and the sentiment is from Hobby Lobby Stampabilities.


Hello and welcome to another Festive Friday challenge. I am so happy to be a GD this week.

I chose the colors from the beautiful inspiration photo, browns and rusty reds with leaves and ribbon. I stamped, embossed and used glossy accents here and there. I did a bit of fussy cutting and foam tape to add some dimension to my card. The white layers is watercolor paper. I blended and painted on this card. 

 Did you know Stamping Up inks blend with water? I thought only distress ink and markers did that. The fussy cut layers are blended SU inks.

Thanks so much for stopping by.
Hope you have a wonderful weekend!
