Christmas in July Day 5

 Hi there friends! 

Today was a relaxing day. I try to allow downtime around holidays. We all need that from time to time. 

Today's card is using a stamp set from Gina K Designs. 

 

  1. Cut a 3.75 x 5 inch panel in cream with a die to make it a frame.

  2. Lay the frame on a white 4.25 x 5.5 inch card panel and mark the edges so you know where you are working.

  3.  Use blue ink and a blending brush to get an uneven, darker at the time coverage inside the frame. 

  4. Stamp the tree and deer on the blue with black ink. 

  5. Stamp the sentiment in the bottom corner as this would just get cut off and discarded later.

  6. Add some blue coloring to the sentiment area. 
  7. Cut the sentiment off the panel. You can use the die for this set, I just chose not to and used scissors.

  8. Using white acrylic paint, splatter some on top of the design to represent snow. Let this dry so it doesn't get smeared.

  9. Glue the frame to the decorated panel. 
  10. Cut off any excess paper.
  11. Use adhesive foam attach the sentiment.  

    Check out the supply list below for all that I used to make this card.
