Muse: ChristmasVisions

IMG_8187


Squeaking in at the last minute with a card for this week's Muse: ChristmasVisions challenge.



I started out to create a Distress Ink watercoloured background in deeper blues and navy inspired by Betty's  challenge card. Of course as soon as I added the water to the mix it ended up rather pastel. I love the soft tones that it created. The background was created using a new technique to me after watching a video by Laura Sterckx. After the background dried I embossed the reindeer with Hero Arts White embossing powder and added a sentiment.
