Roll-On Watercolor & Christmas in July Challenges

I made these for Jan's Roll-On Watercolor Challenge and my Winter Holiday Cards in July Challenge. Jan, I missed the deadline, but thanks for the incentive to get out my Kaleidacolor ink pads once again. I have several backgrounds ready to go now.

CARDS:
4 ¼” x 5 ½”
Cardstock: Bazzill; Gina K (Passionate Pink and Moonlit Fog)
Mats: various blacks; Neenah Classic Crest Solar White

FOCAL PIECES:
Judikins MatteKote cardstock
Kaleidiacolor Ink Pads—Denim; Fruitcake

Stampers Anonymous—Christmas Blueprint
Versafine Onyx Black Ink Pad
Ranger’s Clear Super Fine Embossing Powder
Uni-ball Signo Broad White Gel Pen

Following Jan's instructions for her challenge, I inked the brayer with the Kaleidacolor Ink Pad and misted it with water before applying it to the cardstock. I think I got a more subtle and smoother transition between the colors with the addition of the misted water. I used MatteKote cardstock and heat embossed the images. TFL. Daria

The backgrounds came out great. And I love the white accents on the Christmas tree. Very pretty set of cards.

I really like these stamps. Your backgrounds are wonderful. And the embossing kind of dresses these stamps up some. Thank you for sharing.
