Last weekend I made a masterboard playing with brushos and a set of Indigo Blu stamps I got in a magazine kit. I added some additional colouring with the inktense and some texture with embossing powders too.

Then I cut it up into different sized pieces to make into cards… I only got round to making two so far but the others will no doubt follow!
This is the first one and the biggest piece of the background…

I decided to add this lovely tartan ribbon and then one of the fancy stars from the Trimmings and Tidings set … I die cut this from the soft sea foam cardstock twice and then embossed it with a pearl embossing powder so it’s a really pretty embellishment.

I added the sentiment sticker from Tim Holtz and then added the little iridescent snowflake embellishments across the card.
The next card used the smallest piece of the masterboard.

This I turned into a panel on a 4×4 card with a piece of the dark green cardstock which I embossed with a snowflake embossing folder. I again added the tartan ribbon but only a little bit on the front and the rest wrapped at the back but most of it ended up being covered so not really visible.
I also added a sparkly wooden embellishment from the stash that I think I was gifted in a swap.

Decided against added another sentiment as the panel had the embossed Peace & Joy so it worked well as a sentiment already.
So I have two pieces left to play with … might get to them before the month is out … let’s wait and see! I am already wondering if my Christmas in July energy is running out or whether I can keep going for the full month! Again let’s wait and see!
Happy crafting!
