My love for the new Memory Box Christmas stamps lives on !
This is a large card, larger than I usually make anyway ! It measures 6"x6". I can't believe I used to make this size all the time !
I spent hours watercolouring this card but feel it was worth it, I love it.
In my paint palette I have Daniel Smith "Neutral Tint". I find this perfect for "dulling down" some colours, such as the crimson and using instead of black, which can be too harsh sometimes. I also use it for shadows and depth. I would recommend adding this to your palette.
I die cut the sentiment a few times from scraps of white card and added the final gold layer on top for dimension.
For the edges I rubbed the ink pad over the edges of the card and heat embossed with gold embossing powder. A few sprinkles of Perfect Pearls Gold and a few gold sequins and the card was finished.
This card was pure joy to make and practice my watercolouring !
Thank's for popping by !
