Deco Tree

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

Back to Christmas....

I love this graceful tree stamp and it's been sitting in my NBUS box for a year.

Time to try it out and I wasn't disappointed.

I stamped it on a piece of mixed media paper and watercolored it with Distress inks

and my waterbrush.  Then I used a wet on wet technique and Distress re-inker to give

the background a light wash.

The hard part is walking away and letting it dry!

Once dry, I used chunky white and chunky gold embossing powder and heated

from the back of the paper to keep it from flying off.

To make it even shinier, I edged the watercolor piece and the edges of the card base

with VersaMark and heat embossed those edges with gold.

Here's a view of all that shine.
