STAMPIN' UP! RUSTIC CENTERPIECE & EVERYDAY ARCHES CHRISTMAS CARD

I'm still on a bit of a roll with the Rustic Centerpiece stamp set, working on Christmas cards because I will be away a lot in the coming months (when I'd normally be making Christmas cards).

I watercoloured the image on this one, after stamping it in StazOn Jet Black ink on Fluid 100 Watercolor Paper.

The card base is Crumb Cake, with a layer of Old Olive card.  I embossed a piece of Real Red Two-Tone card with the Forever Plaid 3D embossing folder, then sanded some of the raised design to reveal the paper's white core.

I used an Everyday Arches Die to cut out the main image.  On a scrap of Fluid 100 Watercolor Paper, I stamped the sentiment (from Greetings of the Season) in Real Red ink.  I then trimmed the strip to the width of the base of the arch.

Here's a closer look at the details, and my loose watercolouring.  The Adhesive-Backed Peppermints are just my favourite Christmas embellishment - so cute!

Listed below are all the products I used to make this card.  If you live in Australia, and would like to shop with me for your Stampin' Up! supplies, you can get to my online store by clicking on any of the thumbnail images below.
