Inkspirational has a seasonal challenge and since I'm behind on my Christmas card making, that's the season I went with. Christmas also happens to be Krafty Chicks rotation this time.
Susan from Cardmaker's Garret entered
this card in the Christmas Kickstart challenge and I loved the vintage feel of it so I CASEd it. Ivory cardstock from Gina K was cut with Honey Bee's Deckle Edge die and stamped with the poinsettia from Altenew. The flower was masked to stamp the script background from Penny Black in Antique Linen DI and the panel edged with the same ink. The poinsettia was watercolored with Distress Inks in Barn Door, Rustic Wilderness and Fossilized Amber. I was amazed at how well the cardstock took the watercoloring. I did try it out with a scrap in advance. 😌The sentiment is from a freebie SSS, stamped in Altenew Almond Butter.
