World Card Making Day 2016 (Scrapbook Nerd)

Card created for Scrapbook Nerd (World Card Making Day 2016).

Hello there,

Today we celebrate World Card making Day!

I am not a full time card-maker, but I do enjoy making them.   To celebrate today's special occasion, Scrapbook Nerd is holding an on-line crop.  Here is the link to the forum where you will find all the challenges, sketches and prizes.

My card is a combination of  some of my favorite techniques: watercolor, cut files and embossing.

I started by creating a background on watercolor paper with my new Prima palettes (i love them!).   While it dried, I used a stamp to emboss my sentiment on heavy vellum.

I used Clique Kits September kit to create the dreamcatcher cut-out, that is the centerpiece of the card.   Using foam adhesive, i added dimension to the card.   I used a second piece of vellum to mat the watercolor background, before attaching it completely to the card.  Here is the final card:

You are welcomed to visit Scrapbook Nerd forum to see what the rest of the design team created for this date.

Till next time!
