Hello there! Today begins Newton's Nook Designs' holiday release, and we are starting with a super fun tropical themed Christmas set!
I created a background using Distress Inks, and stamped the little palm tree scene right on top - no masking involved. I chose to Copic color my images a little more muted than I'd normally choose to do, to go with the soft background, and I love the effect! I added the white with my Dylusions white paint pen, heat embossed the sentiment, and added the panel offset onto a card base I embossed with an embossing folder.
