A big congrats to Bev, the newest Featured Stamper! She has such a wonderful gallery & leaves the nicest comments! I chose THIS to case. I kept the Christmas theme & layout, but I used different images, watercolored my image & used a die cut greeting.
For my card, I used this beautiful Poinsettia image. I just love poinsettias & I can't wait for the stores to get them in for Christmas. This image just said "water color" to me but instead of using my usual pan w/c, I used Brushos water color crystals. I sprinkled a few reds & greens on a blank palette then added water & painted w/ them as if they were pan w/c. Since this is a large image, I was pretty sure I was going to have to use my out of the box technique w/ the chosen die. And I was right! I did a few step by step pics to explain the process & you can see them on my linked blog post (below).
Congrats again, Bev! Thanks so much for looking. Closeups, the inside & pics for out of the box on this card are on my blog: The Write Stuff
