No Thanksgiving card for me today; I have a Christmas card using a beautiful poinsettia image from Unity Stamp Co. I just bought this stamp during their 'Brown Sale' and could not wait to ink it up!
So this card turned out nothing like I had originally planned. I really wanted to do 'loose watercoloring' but I could not let myself just slop it on, lol! I kept playing with it and kept getting further and further from loose watercoloring, and yet it was not really nice and neat either. So, I ended up fussy cutting it out and creating a loose background with distress inks and the Wrinkle free distress technique.
I used the sketch from Sunday Stamps~
