Mistletoe Greetings

 

I made a quick Christmas card using the mini-slimline size (which fits what used to be called a small business envelope -- this one is 3.25 by 6.25 inches).  It features an ATC-sized image of mistletoe from a new set by Stamplorations.  There are 15 or 18 to a set, and each is a different design. I really like the watercolored look, and they make a quick card for sure.

The sentiment is also from Stamplorations, as is the stitched tag. (The cord is from SU,and that's SU Night of Navy ink, just so this doesn't sound like an ad.)

This card is for these challenges:

 Happy summer everyone.

What's more summery than flowers and butterflies? This card features an old stamp that's part of a set of four floral blocks -- roses, daisies, and I'm not positive what these are called, but I painted them peach. I started with a snippet of watercolor paper, stamped the image in versamark, then used glitter gold embossing powered. After heating it, I used watercolors to paint the image and mounted it on a scrap of gold card stock.

The background was in pile of papers, I have no idea when I made it or exactly how -- looks like some sort of Distress Inks and smooshing/spraying.  I thought the pinks and peaches worked with the image, and used gold pigment ink to edge the panel.

After punching out the butterflies (from a bit of the gold snippet) bthey seemed pretty boring so I ran them through an embossing folder.
