Pastel Christmas

Photo Details

Poster: Lead_&_Lace_Gifts

I started by cutting the birch tree die, using a black pen to add small dots, while pushing it out of the die.

Then I edged it with Distress Ink Pumice Stone and Walnut Stain. I used some background colors to represent land and sky behind the tree, painting on watercolor paper with a brush and water.

I typed up a sentiment that seemed to go with the "bright" colors, and assembled the cards.

I *heart* that you got a rainbow for your background on this

and good for you for jumping in with both feet!

the one thing you may want to do is edit this. ( there is a button under that photo) and then you can choose to move the card to the fallidays challenges galleries.

Thank you! I couldn't figure it out for the life of me, and I realized it was because I was on the mobile page. I think I figured it out. Man! there are a LOT of choices for where to add your photos! lol I will get the hang of this eventually.
