I have two cards for your today. For both the cards, I have used Pure Innocence: Merry Christmas Banner stamp set and coordinating die. On my first I heat embossed the cute image in black and watercoloured in traditional colours.
I used Zig watercolour pens to colour my image and then die cut the image using the coordinating die. For the background, I used MFT’s Sunray stencil and sponged Spiced Marmalade and Ripe Persimmon distress inks. I did not sponge the inks all the way to the end but faded it off towards the end. I then adhered the image using foam adhesives. Embellished with Sparkly Clear and Sunshine Glow iridescent sequins from Pretty Pink Posh. Here is a closeup of the cute girl holding the Christmas banner.
For the second cards, I white heat embossed the same girl’s image and watercoloured her using non traditional colours.

For the background, I smooshed Salty Ocean and Peacock Feather distress inks. I love the unpredictable hard and soft edges of the watercolour on the background. Once dry, I adhered the girl image die cut on the background using foam adhesive. Embellished with Sparkly Clear sequins from Pretty Pink Posh. Here is closeup of the card.
I love both by the first card is my favourite. I like the black embossing and the colours of the girl’s dress more than the white embossing. Which one is your favourite?

As always, I love how creative you are! I like the vividness of the warmer colors, but you hit all my favorite colors with the softer, edge-colored look!
Gorgeous cards Gayatri! They are both adorable and I love how you've used the sunray stencil. Fab Idea 🙂
