Hi! Today I'm joining along with the Merry Monday Christmas Card Challenge where the challenge is to create a card featuring a decorated tag using texture, bling and die cuts.
Here's my take on the challenge:
For texture, I dry embossed a piece of watercolor paper, spritzed on Ranger Meadow Distress Ink, followed with spritzed water. Once dry, I randomly stamped and heat embossed some fun polka dots. I embellished the die cut tag with a die cut snowflake, die cut leaves and a sentiment strip then randomly adhered some bling:
Up next is a 9" x 12" piece of canvas paper that I have been practicing painting impressionistic style roses on using oil paints:
I'm linking my painting to the Paint Party Friday and the 30 in 30 Day 19 sites:
Thanks so much for stopping by ~ I hope you have a great day / evening!

Your card is so pretty, Mona. I love the fresh green color and the shabby-chic techniques you used. Your painting is also lovely. It reminds me of the roses I photographed today in the Alhambra rose garden in Granada, Spain.
