A Christmas Card

Since my little one is still sleeping, I thought I would sneak in another post for today. :D

Though Card Making is what I am into now, I have never finished making a complete card! I just keep either creating backgrounds or other elements never really tying them in together.

I finally made a full card yesterday inspired by the thought of taking part in a few Card Challenges! So I decided to make a Christmas Card. .
This is the card I made yesterday - again when my daughter was napping. :) I decided to go in for the Christmas Colors Red and Green for the Card and included Gold (based on Lulupu Challenge)

Supplies

• Watercolor paper from Brustro
• Distress Inks and Markers
• Ranger's Mini Blending tool
• Sakure Koi Waterbrush
• Christmas Stamp set from Mudra Craft Stamps
• Textured Cardstock
• Versamark Watermark ink pad
• Ranger's Gold Embossing Powder
• Ranger's Heat Tool
• Ranger's Liquid Pearls - Gold
• Deco Art Gold Marker
• Sakura Micron Pen - Red
• Foam Tape and squares
• Masking Tape 
• Sequins

 For the Background, I used masking tape to tape offr areas where I did not want color. I then used the blending tool to blend in some Festive Berried Distress ink in the Center. I then went over it with the waterbrush to create a watercolored look. I then used the Mowed Lawn Distress Marker (only because I didnt have an ink pad of Mowed Lawn) and created the green stripes and used the watercolor brush to spread the color.

Once the background was ready, I stamped some snowflakes from Mudra Stamps with Versamark Watermark Ink pad and heat embossed them with some Ranger's Gold embossing powder. I did the same with the sentiment on a black cardstock that was cut into a banner shape.

Next I moved on to the Christmas Tree. I drew a tree by hand on some green textured Cardstock and cut it out with my scissors. I then embellished the tree with some Gold Marker and Liquid Pearls - Gold.

I then adhered the tree on the background with some adhesive foam sqaures and placed the sentiment at the base of the card. I then mounted the background on to some red textured cardstock (to match the tree) using foam tape. The whole thing was then mounted on a white card base. I added a few sequins to the card and then it was done!

Please do let me know what you think about this in the comments!!
