I stole this idea from my son. He designed this layout for a birthday card he made a few days ago. It took every good parenting instinct I have to let him finish his own project and not take over.

Details

Size:  Vertical top fold A2 card

Extra Details: I started by stamping the images and sentiment on a panel of water color paper. I die cute the panel with a stitched rectangle die. I offset the image for a bit of interest.

I used Distress Inks to water color the images. Once the water color was dry, I popped the panel up on fun foam and added it to a card base.

I am trying to get a head start on my Christmas tags this year. I started with this set of 12. Six were done with an ombre effect. The other six were an excuse for me to practice my ink blending.

Details

Extra Details:  I started with a full sheet of water color paper. I stamped and white heat embossed snowflakes all over it. Once the embossing was cooled, I die cut the large piece of paper into twelve tags. I had a few small strips left over also; you may see them in some other tags later on. Then, I started ink blending. Lots and lots of ink blending. I added water drops to the multi colored tags. To finish the tags, I cut small strips and heat embossed a sentiment on them. I used gold or silver embossing powder. I tied the tags together with some silver raffia I had in my stash.
