I am so over Christmas cards. I've been doing them since August and, quite frankly I am sick of them. I held my last Christmas card class of the year today and all I can say is bring on Valentine's Day! The card I have for you today is not a Christmas card. It is a thank you card I designed for a class I am teaching at an upcoming weekend retreat in January. The class is on watercolouring and so I chose one of my favourite hostess sets to colour: Faith in Nature. See what you think:

I just love this pear image. I don't know why but it just really appeals to me. I stamped it in versamark on watercolour paper and then heat embossed it in gold. I watercolored it using my aquapainter and ink pads. The rest of the card is pretty straightforward and uses more mustard, soft suede and crumb cake cardstock. I am so looking forward to playing with my preorder items from the upcoming Occasions Mini...there's nothing like new goodies to jump-start the ol' Mojo!
I believe I am taking this class Leena!
