Christmas in July – sketch

Hello! Nearly there with this years Christmas in July and today’s project is based on this sketch. I hadn’t done many DL cards this time so I concentrated on this shape and also as I hadn’t got around to doing a tag for this month for the UK Stampers Forum this was in tribute to that.

I then chose to interpret the sketch two ways …

I started with inking and then stamping for this one … I added the red using alcohol makers and then over stamped the image again which I then embossed with the gold. I edged the tag with the gold embossing too.

I added a panel of the foiled scrap too and then the sentiment from the same Altenew set as the floral image.

I raised the tag on foam to give some dimension which I think just makes the card more special.

The second one I chose to use patterned paper to create the corner elements and then I used leftover bits of the paper to fussy cut some foliage elements for under the sentiment banner, I then added some doodled elements.
