Holiday Card Series 2016 - Festive Background

Hey there!

For this card, I wanted to create a background using exclusively Lawn Fawn stamps, so I gathered everything I liked and started stamping all the images on watercolor paper using black waterproof ink. Then I grabbed my distress inks and painted everything in a kind of whimsical way.

To be able to see the background, I stamped my sentiment on vellum using versamark ink and heat embossed it using gold embossing powder. To frame it perfectly, I cut my sentiment using a banner die, and attached it to my panel.

To frame my sentiment even more and to add another festive touch, I attached some ribbon and tied a knot using some gold thread with three little golden bells.
