Red Could Only Mean One Thing............
....................Christmas, sorry for all of those that are offended by this post but as soon as I saw Hels' challenge for The Sunday Stamper was to use RED in your artwork I instantly thought of Christmas LOL.
I coloured a piece of watercolour paper with DI fired brick and from this piece cut the carved ornaments. The ornaments were then embossed with a hearts folder and highlighted with Adirondack snow cap ink. I added highlights of leafing flakes to lift the red a little.
The background piece is also embossed with the same folder. The sentiment is stamped with DI fired brick and is from Outlines. I added "bauble" using Tim's Newsprint Alpha Parts. Co-ordinated heart buttons have been added to complete the look. Must admit this was a challenge making a Christmas card at the end of May, not one I would like to repeat for a while LOL. Enjoy the Bank Holiday, Tracy x x
