Make this christmas memorable

I did this project to try out my spellbinders monthly box.  I signed up for the big one for this release bc I love christmas in July products and this one did not disappoint. I highly recommend it if you are not in any of the clubs but this particular kit is 130$ so totally understandable with everything being so high priced these days if you wanted to start smaller and maybe move up.  I love this kit because they always add a couple extra surprises and they even include a 10 pack of their excellent new cardstock in different colors to match the kit.  For this I used the festive forest betterpress plate on spellbinders watercolor paper and used Gina K medium and dark spruce inks for some texture and they worked beautifully.  I did red and gold splaters with metallic watercolors (from Amazon) I used gold thread from stampin up (retired) and Used strawberry slush ink to press the sentiment.  This is a beautiful plate, slightly larger that an a2 card panel but sized perfectly.  Spellbinders press plates can also be foiled with their glimmer and I will be trying that next bc I think it will be absolutely beautiful.

I will be entering my project in the following challenges:

Blue Sky Card for Cardz 4 galz design team

I made this project using spellbinders watercolor paper and altenew watercolor set lush terra.

It had the perfect blue , green and brown for just the 1 layer paintng.  I used a White Gel pen to add some texture to the blue sky and in the water so it looked like breaks where the waves are.  I used the gink k tropical sillhouettes stamp set for all of the stamping.  This is my inspiration card for cardz 4 galz challenge blog, and I am pretty happy with the end result and could hopefully help someone with a jumping off point if they have any trouble getting started with the challenge.  I look forward to seeing all of the lovely cards that get entered bc we see some serious talent!!  Have fun and good luck!!
