when you start a card for one challenge...


This card was started for for the CAS Mix Up Challenge but when I finished it I realized it needed stamping.
Instead of trying to fit it in I just decided to bring it to this challenge!
The base card is kraft card stock and the main piece is white card stock that I ran through the BigKick with with Stampin’ Up’s poinsettia Sizzix embossing folder only partially.
Using Derwent Inktense pencils I colored the flowers then floated the colors with a watercolor brush.
With Stampin’ Up’s “Noel” die from the Wondrous Wreath Set and More kraft paper I cut it out and applied it to the card front!
