Merry

Hi Everyone

It's 1 week today until the Brisbane Craft Fair starts at the Brisbane Convention Centre - let the last minute work begin.  To find out more about the show, go to this web address - http://www.craftfair.com.au/wp/Brisbane/#sthash.XDYfFTf7.dpbs

This card was made using another of the Tim Holtz / Stampers Anonymous Blueprints stamp sets - CMS135 Christmas Blueprint.

I've used the layers - Bazzill Pomegranate, Stardream Antique Gold, Bazzill Guacamole and Bazzill Aloe Vera.  On the Aloe Vera card, I stamped the Darkroom Door Christmas Script DDBS046 and then blended a little Inka Gold around the edges.

On watercolour card, I stamped the Christmas Tree using an Archival Jet Black ink pad.

It's important to us an Archival Ink Pad as it is a waterproof ink and when we blend with water, the ink won't budge.

Trim the card around the tree and blend a little Distress Ink Pad - Brushed Corduroy around the edges.

Around the edges of the tree, blend a little Distress Marker - Festive Berries and blend out with water.

Colour the tree with Distress Markers Forest Moss and Peeled Paint and then the base of the tree with Brushed Corduroy.

After adhering the layers of the card, I added some Glossy Accents to the star on the tree and then added Distress Glitter - Mustard Seed.

The word 'merry' is from the My Favorite Things - Christmas Greetings Dienamics set which I cut from Antique Gold and Pinecone card and off-set slightly.

Looking forward to seeing you at the Craft Fair next week.

Happy Stamping
