Welcome to the Hero Arts Handmade for Christmas Blog Hop!
You should have arrived from Kelly's blog or you can start here at the beginning
because there are prizes for commenting, and as you know the more you comment,
the higher your odds of winning!
My card uses the new Christmas Crystals clear stamps. As soon as I saw the set,
I knew that I wanted to watercolor them.
I gold embossed the largest crystal ornament and filled in the facets
with Peerless Watercolors. The ornament is hanging from Lisa's Pen and Ink Fir branch
and I chose a non holiday sentiment because of all the dazzle and bling!
Your next stop on the hop is Tami, and I can't wait to see her fabulous project!
Don't forget to leave comments along the way because there's a huge GRAND prize
of $75 in Hero Arts goodies, and two $10 gift cards for the Hero Arts online store!
You have until Thursday, October 2nd at 11:59pm PST to leave a comment
and the winners will be announced on October 3rd on the Hero Arts blog.
Happy hopping and good luck!
