F4A358 = Happy New Year
IC578 = be inspired by the Design Seeds website
I wanted to do a New Year card for the Free for All challenge so went to the "winter" section on Design Seeds and found this "Winter Horizon" colourway that I loved:
I created a background with brushos on watercolour paper, trying to get it close to the inspiration colours, and then stamped my image and heat embossed it in white. I darkened up the edges with a bit of sponging with Distress Faded Jeans.
I added white liquid pearls to the berries and did the sentiment on a scrap of the brushos background.
