Give a Cheer
I used the new Memory Box Moroccan and Dots in both vanilla bean and thistle on this card. I have another piece of the thistle paper under my bow. I didn't mean for the bow to cover it up but that's how it all came together. :) For the card base, I used a Memory Box thistle notecard. And for my image, I used the technique in Jennifer McGuire's latest Holiday Thinking of Inking video by stamping the new Memory Box Crystal Snowflake stamp {E1410} with VersaMark directly onto my watercolor paper. Then I embossed the image with clear embossing powder and used Copic Various Inks on top for the color. This was a fun technique to try, and different watercolor papers gave a different result.
