Whimsy Stamps Pine Bough Background and other goodies!...

 Happy Sunday friends!

Whilst I am writing this post it is absolutely chucking it down with rain and still dark!  - So not very festive at all to be honest!

Hopefully I can change that feeling with today's card with is something a bit different from me but I did enjoy putting it together.

I used some gorgeous goodies from Whimsy Stamps

(UK friends you can find all of these goodies at Dies To Die For)

To make the delicate looking stamped background I painted directly onto the 

Pine Bough Background Rubber Cling Stamp

with brush markers.  (I used Arteza but any would be fine, you could even use straightforward watercolours and apply them with a brush.  

I used a selection of browns and greens and just dabbed them on the star roughly where I wanted the colour to be.

I then very lightly sprayed the stamp with water and stamped direct onto watercolour card.  I dried it with a heat tool (because I'm impatient, you can let it dry naturally)!

Next I sprinkled on some chunky embossing enamel and heat set it from underneath.  

I assembled the rest of the card with goodies from Whimsy Stamps as shown.
