SPD Sweet Sneaks Day 1: Merry Makers

Merry & Bright by Jen ShultsIt’s the first day of SugarPea Designs Sweet Sneaks for November! We have some amazing holiday stamps and dies for you this week! First up today is Merry Makers and SugarCuts Merry Makers dies.

Merry & Bright by Jen ShultsI started my card by stamping and embossing my elf from Merry Makers with black embossing powder on Canson #90 watercolor paper. I watercolored the elf with Distress Markers and a waterbrush. In the background I sponged Tumbled Glass ink onto white cardstock and I die cut the background with SugarCuts Zig-Zag Stitched Rectangles.
