a mod christmas card + nuvo mousse

Hi and Happy Sunday! I just wanted to pop in share a quick Christmas card...

I love playing with Nuvo Mousse and I love the mod background I created with some of the stamps from the Essentials by Ellen Fat Pants & Modern Christmas stamps, both by the amazing Julie Ebersole.

Some quick Nuvo Mousse tips from me...

• create background paper/DIY shimmer paper like my card. The Nuvo Aquamarine Mousse matches the Hero Arts Tide Pool ink beautifully. And I love these for applying mousse to large areas.
• Mother of Pearl Mousse is super easy to tint with ink pads & reinkers. To create my green holly, I swiped Hero Arts Lime Green ink onto my craft sheet, added a little scoop of mousse and swirled until blended.
• Craft-A-Board is the perfect surface for mousse. I used it for my holly & berries.

And a little help from your friendly crafty enabler (me), the Fat Pants & Modern Christmas sets are on sale right now as a sweet bundle. 

Hope you have a wonderful, crafty day! Hugs!
Carly
