So today's contribution is:
I began by creating a water colour wash down one side and across - just a light wash with water colour paint in two shades of blue. I then took a stencil of Christmas words and using some distress ink I selectively added just some of the words over the top of the wash. I used an off cut of card and colour washed it with the same water colour paints - I stamped and heat embossed the sentiment and used the rest to die cut some snowflakes.
I used:
Funky Fossil Designs - Festive Words stencil
UNIKO - Simply Said II
Distress Ink - Tumbled glass
Stay Safe and Keep Creating!
