I have a fun Christmas Card to share with you that I created for the Merry Monday Challenge. And since it uses a stamp I bought last Christmas, it falls under the NBUS category and I will link it up to Darnell's challenge too.
Merry Monday's challenge was to use a present on your card. I used the Memory Box Presents of Joy stamp and then watercolored in my gifts with distress inks Fired Brick & Worn Lipstick and Mowed Lawn & Peeled Paint. I added the polka dots on the green gift with some white pigment ink after the watercoloring had dried. For a little interest, I added some splatter in both red and green. Then I popped up the panel on a green card base.
Thanks for looking! Are you glad the kids are back in school? I am a little sad to see summer end, as we had such a great summer this year. But it nice to get back into a routine again!

I love these watercolored gifts! So pretty! And I love all that textured white space! Thanks, Laura, for sharing with us at Merry Monday!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a artistic and organic Christmas card, Laura! I love watercoloring and you really did a spectacular job with your presents. The splatters are the perfect punctuation. I think knowing when to splatter and when not to splatter is a gift. Oh, ha, ha, a gift, get it!
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy to hear you had a great summer! It sure went by fast! Thank you so much for playing in my second NBUS Challenge!! Hugs, Darnell
