Christmas in July 3 - Mixed Media

I managed to create one more card today, using a previously created watercard panel with two pine cones that I had actually created for last month's CAS Mix Up challenge using a stencil and embossing paste.


Since the embossing paste acts as a resist, I decided to create my background using my Distress Oxide inks. Once my background was dry, I picked up some pale gold paint with a paint brush and splattered in onto my panel. For the sentiment, I used a previously die cut I had laying around and matted my panel first onto dark blue cardstock and then onto my red card base.
