I used four different stamp sets for my holiday card. The frames are from Holiday Messages and Tags, the animals are from Hipster Animals, the mason jar is from Hipster at Heart, and the snowflakes are from Holiday Animals.
Every stamped element was stamped with a pigment ink and heat embossed with various powders, including Hero Arts gold embossing powder and their new sparkle embossing powder for lots of sparkle and shine. Both the background and the Hipster Animals were watercoloured with distress inks.
Thanks so much for hopping with us! Be sure to leave a comment by 11:59 p.m. Pacific Time on Sunday, Oct 30, 2016 for a chance to win one of four $25 shopping sprees to the Hero Arts Online Store. Now it's time to head to Sue McRae's blog for more inspiration and beauty!

What a fun card! I really like the contrast between the quirky, monochromatic animals and your soft, water-coloured background. The red hats really pop!
Cute card, I like the use of the watercolor paper to make the background.
Very cute card! Thanks for sharing.
I know I can use my distress inks for w/c, so why don't I ever think of that! I do love what happens when water and pigments mix! It never gets tiresome. For very tiny images like this, my favorite is a scribble of marker on a plate or scrap plastic picked up with a damp brush. I feel very artistic when I mix my own shades!!! Thank you for this very fun card.
Very cute cards! Thanks for sharing.
Great video, Emily! I'm so glad you shared your techniques for adding color to the images. Your card is absolutely charming, love it! So happy to be part another hostess hop!
