Pure Joy

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 !
