Get Cracking: Rainbow All The Snowflakes
I was excited to play some more with the new Distress Spritz sprays, and I’m always looking for an excuse to play with Distress Watercolor Pencils, so that is what inspired this months cards!
I used a few Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous stamps to create these festive scenes!
I really had fun with all the watercoloring, shimmer, and sparkle for these cards. I can’t wait to share with you some tips and tricks during my YouTube LIVE.
