Winter Wishes

Hi there,

this week we are having a mixed media challenge over at the 52{Christmas} Card Throwdown:

• create a background on watercolor paper using Prima Marketing Color Bloom Sultry Shimmer Cobalt and Sparkling Pastels Soft Teal Spray
• apply Distress Ink (Broken China) through the Memory Box Distressed Grid Stencil for subtle Texture
• apply Texture Paste through the Tim Holtz Layering Stencil (Festive) and color the different parts with Distress Inks (Festive Berries, Gathered Twigs, Evergreen Bough, Pine Needles) - make sure that the Texture Paste is totally dry before applying the ink with a Mini Ink Blending Tool
• add Stickles (Christmas Red) to the berries
• cut out "Winter" from the svgcuts Winter Bliss Collection twice and layer the pieces on top of each other, cover them with Versamark and heat-emboss them with silver embossing powder
• cut a banner from black cardstock and stamp "wishes" from Hero Arts All Occasion Messages with Versamark and heat-emboss with the same embossing powder
• dye a piece of seam binding with Distress Inks (Festive Berries, Evergreen Bough), create a bough and adhere it to the panel
• use kraft cardstock as a base

I would like to join the following challenges:
