I am totally feeling the christmas-vibes with these new products!
my first card uses the super beautiful and nostailgic Holiday Home set!

I started by coloring all of the images with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers and then using the coordinating dies to die cut them out!
all the nostalgia of a storybook christmas, i'm telling you! lol!

for the background, I used some green Distress Inks and the Evergreens Stencil! then I used some clear embossing paste on top! once it was dry, I watercolored the blues for the sky!
and once THAT was dry, I sprinkled some white acrylic ink on top!

I die cut out the sentiment from the Holiday Greetings die set, using white cardstock. then I added some clear glitter on top, to add the sparkle!
it's such a subtle effect! the background is one of the new patterned papers, that I splattered white acrylic ink on top of!
