Christmas in July – 2

Today’s project for Christmas in July is a ‘twofer’ because I started with half a sheet of A4 and created one background that I then chopped in two. This gave me two panels to use on two cards. I guess as an alternative I could have used one panel as the inside of the card instead – but no I decided to make two cards!

I am delighted with the final cards – my favourite colours and I really do love this stamp set for creating some lovely artsy finishes.

So I inked up the panel after masking with torn paper and then stamped through the gap.

I added some splatters of gold paint before I removed the masks too.

Then stamped and die cut the leaves and pine cones.

The sentiment I kept the same for both cards but different colours.

To both I added the gem and the bow from embroidery floss and the sentiment I stacked three layers to make it sturdy.

I used Shaded Sprice for the base of the card blank and then inside I added white with an inked edge to use the same colours.

I love teal colours so this is perfect for me as a non traditional card.

I videoed the process so please do check out my YouTube channel to see how I made these. YouTube

Kind regards
