Hey Everyone

I was a little bit more than pleased to see I was chosen as last weeks winner at TGIF Challenges! Thanks for the challenge love ladies!

This week their challenge is a Christmas In July Challenge.

The card I’ve made has non-traditional Christmas colours. I like to mix up my cards and create with traditional and non-traditional combinations.

The colours I’ve used for my holly leaves are Pool Party and Smoky Slate Inks. I then used the same colours on my branches of holly. These have been coloured with my blends. The stamped leaves are from the Leaves of Holly Stamp Set.

The background Basic White Cardstock has been given detail with a dauber, Smoky Slate Ink and Artistic Mix Decorative Masks. I love the background it gives to my holly leaves. I had cut a strip of DSP from the Perfectly Pencilled DSP pack for an earlier project, so the end of that piece was added to this card.

A Gray Granite Ribbon bow was tied on my fingers to create a double bow and adhered under the corner of the sentiment.

The sentiment I’ve inked up in Pool Party, Basic Gray and Smoky Slate Inks is from the Jingle Jingle Jingle Stamp Set. I stamped the patterned sentiment and fussy cut the letters out. I then stamped the hollow sentiment, added some dimensionals to the letters and layered them layered over the “jolly”.

Thanks for stopping by.

Cheers

Narelle
