FOREST FOR THE TREES - FANCY FRIDAY

I like a big font and I cannot lie!  But sometimes it is really hard to know just what to do with one.  Let's face it, you can sneak a small font in anywhere on your project, but a big one?  They are a little more challenging!  The Fancy Friday blog hop is all about Big Fonts this month, with a technique or two thrown in for good measure, so be prepared for some super ideas from this talented crew of past and present Artisans!

I was so excited to get my Holiday Catalogue pre-order that I just HAD to use a stamp set from there!  This delightful set is called Watercolor Christmas and is actually designed to go with one of TWO new Christmas Kits.  I love the fonts and the tree images.  This card jumped into my head and BOOM!, it was done!  (I love it when a plan comes together like that!)

There was a lot of Stamp-a-ma-jigging to get the trees lined up, but so worth the effort.  I also used an ombre type heat emboss technique to get my two-toned sentiment.  I first stamped in Crumb Cake ink then roughly sprinkled half with Gold Emboss Powder before heat setting.  Hard to photograph.

True to the stamp sets name, I also did a little rough watercolour on the trees, creating an imperfect, outside the lines, ombre on each.

Now over to my very good and uber talented friend (also a Kiwi like me lol), Susan Wong!  I just got to spend an entire weekend at a Stamp Camp with this amazing chick.  I haven't laughed so hard in ages and was delighted to take a class with her!  Lucky me!
