Hi friends!
Last week was shark week (I know I'm running a little late on this, it happens) and it is still Christmas in July and I saw this paper by Sparkleberry Ink would be a perfect holiday card.
I chose a background paper and cut it down to 4x5.25" to fit on an A2 size card base.
I decided I wanted to cut the paper with an oval die. Of course, this can be done with your electric cutter such as a Silhouette Cameo instead. Oftentimes, dies add some detail that happens much quicker than that way.
I knew i had the dies to make the presents that are very similar to the ones in the shark pattern. I cut them with white cardstock and choose alcohol markers in similar colors to the ones on the paper.
I color the presents.
I assemble the pieces and glue all together. I added a sentiment that was in my leftover bucket. Fits perfectly!
I add embellishments with gems and white gel pen and plan pen.
