Watercolor Christmas - Christmas in July Challenge

And this Christmas card with an unusual stamp, I used Watercolor Flowers.  I heat embossed the image with detail white embossing powder.  Then I used Dragon's Blood Shimmering Bliss and gave it a good coat of this red!  The Merry Christmas die cut in white glitter paper was adhered to red card stock and adhered to the front of the card.  I used a light mist of  Dazzle Shimmering Bliss Spray over all of the front.  After all, Christmas  cards ARE very glimmery, right?

Then I used the Ink Blending Brushes  to add the color on the envelope with the Primitive Batik Stencil from a Colorful Life Designs.
