CAS Watercolour & CAS Mix Up Challenges - happy holidays

I didn't want to miss my favorite challenges this month, so I combined the two: CAS Watercolour and CAS Mix Up.

        


I used watercolor, glitter paper, stamping, and die-cutting with a holiday theme.



I die-cut a piece of glitter paper and cut it into a triangle so that it looks like a Christmas tree. Then I popped up the tree with foam squares on the watercolor stroke background.



I wanted to try something I've never done, so I tuned the sentiment into a silver ink frame. Finally a red enamel dot was added to top it off. 


Thanks for looking!


Stamp: "Stamptember" 2017 Tim Holtz Collection (Stampers Anonymous/Simon Says Stamp)
