Hello and welcome! This is my design team card for Watercooler Wednesday\’s \”All About Occasions\” Challenge. Kath is our hostess.
I wanted to make a mixed media card and this is the bold look I came up with. I started by spreading gesso on the cardstock with a card. I let it dry and then used diluted watercolors to paint my background. After the panel was dry, I spritzed it with shimmer spray, which gives the background a pretty sheen. Next I stamped with the script background stamp. I finished by heat embossing the tree. I wanted a lot of texture so I heat embossed the tree twice.
Supplies:
Crackerbox and Suzy Tree Whimsy Stamp
Frayed Burlap Distress Ink (for script)
Gesso
Watercolor
Black Heat Embossing
Thanks for stopping by!

Beautiful and vibrant scene! I wasn't sure if a sympathy card would count as an occasion, but after seeing your DT card I think I may link up.
