For today's colors: Red, Green, Gold. Even though I knew these would make a pretty Christmas card, I decided to work outside the box. I first brushed water on my wc paper, then I took re-inkers and dropped randomly. Next, I helped to spread the colors around with my aqua painter, when dry I spritzed with water & added some spattering with the white paint. Made a gold frame, added the leaf and popped it up. Thanks for stopping by today! ~Roberta

STUNNING card, Roberta....glad you went "outside the box".....you're very good at it. : ) Love your spattered and watercolored bg. The gold sparkle of the glitter makes a lovely frame.

Absolutely outstanding, Roberta. When you stepped outside the box today, you stepped into an area that let you unleash your creativity. Beautiful CAS, too.
