Merry Santa & Elf-tastic

Hi Crafty Friends,
I was inspired by the Build Your Holiday Sketch Challenge #68 for these CAS Christmas Cards. I used Darice Brick Embossing Folder to mimic the background in the sketch and Jaded Blossom Build-an-Ornament Dies for the cute Santa and Elf ornaments in the center. The fun little elf sentiment is from Waffleflower Elf-tastic Sentiments Stamp Set and the Merry is Lawn Fawn Merry Scripty Die.

Make Crafty Friends Q & A:
Q: Which do you like better the Santa one or Elf one?
A: Me? I like the Elf because of the sentiment 

Card #1`: Merry 

Card #2: Elf-tastic!

Watercolor & White Embossing

Hi Crafty Friends,
I was inspired by the #TEMakerChallenge Watercolor for these three watercolor cards. I watercolored the backgrounds and splattered them with watercolor then I stamped Taylored Expressions Lucky Leprechauns Cling & Clear Combo, Taylored Expressions Frosty Cling & Clear Combo, and Taylored Expressions St. Nick Cling & Clear Combo with Versamark ink. I added WOW white embossing powder and heated the images so they would POP from the watercolor background. 

Make Crafty Friends Q & A:
Q: Do you like to watercolor?
A: Me? Not really

Card #1: Lucky Leprechaun 

Card #2: Frosty

 Card #3: St. Nick

Supplies:
