Holiday Card Series 2024 – Day 9 – Watercolor BetterPress Cards

Today is Day 9 of the Holiday Card Series! We’re moving right along! For today’s card design I wanted to use the Merry Christmas and Happy New Year press plate from Spellbinders. What a gorgeous design! It’s so easy to get a full card design with just the plate! So I watercolored a couple of backgrounds and then heat embossed the press plate design.
