Have a holly jolly Christmas. LA LA LA LA! That’s what tune is in my head right now. I can’t imagine why. I am back with day two of a week long posts celebrating CAS-ual Fridays Holiday Release. The entire release will be available on July 16th! I’ve got a 15% off coupon code! Just use code LAUREL2016 at any time you shop at the CAS-ual Fridays store!
I’m using two new products from the release for this project: Tag Ornament Fri-Dies and Holly Jolly Borders. To create this card, I stamped one of the borders from the Holly Jolly Border stamp set with Versamark ink and heat set it with white embossing powder. I then applied a wash of watercolor over the entire card panel. I started with more paint on my brush to achieve a darker color and then began to water down my brush to blend to a lighter color. Once that was completed, I made sure it was dry and then added some pink watercolor to accentuate all the letters. I used the MissionGold watercolors.
Once the watercolored panel was dry, I die cut the tag shape using the Tag Ornament Fri-Dies. I adhered the center of the circle down flat and popped up the outline of the circle with foam dimension to create the inlaid diecut. Added a touch of twine and voila.
All the products from the new release will be available on Saturday, July 16th HERE! Remember, use code LAUREL2016 to save 15%!

Hi Laurel ~ This card is very sweet. I adore the color pattern you’ve chosen (it looks like my daughters chose the colors for you!) and the inlaid die cut always adds an unexpected element. Very nicely done. ~HUGS~
