Merry Christmas in July!
We're celebrating Christmas all week this week over on the Stamp Simply blog, so I made a card combining elements from three different JustRite sets for the occasion. I started by cutting a circle with the Pierced Circle dies, and, while the paper was still in the die, I sponged a wintery sky. I stamped my sentiment from the Great Joy set in black ink and then added some shimmer to the star and the snow with a Stardust pen. A silver Wink of Stella would have worked wonderfully, too! I stamped and cut out a deer from the Grand Christmas Sentiments set and set it aside until I finished my background. To make my background I stamped the snowflake from the Gift of Faith Sentiments set in versamark ink and then embossed them with clear embossing powder. Then I decided where I wanted my main circle and sponged my background so they would line up. I attached my sentiment circle with 3D foam - the thicker ones - and then added the deer with the thinner 3D foam squares. LOVE that they come in two thicknesses!
Here's my Stamp Simply shopping list for this week!
Have a happy Christmas in July!

ReplyDeleteI love all the tiny details on this card! The snowflakes, the shading in your background, the perfectly pierced edge around your sentiment. What a lovely, peaceful scene!
