Merry Christmas

I made this background using Kristina Werner's technique by applying not 1, not 2 but 3 layers of watercolors and letting them dry in between. I used from top to bottom black, purple, red, orange and yellow. Snow splatters were done by using a white ink spray by Avery Elle. It's much easier than using a toothbrush and acrylic paint which is how I normally do it and I splatter ink everywhere. This comes in a spray bottle and is wonderful!

OMG your background is amazing, so cool to have a spray for white rather than a splattering tool. Love the card and thanks for joining us at CAS Christmas.
