Christmas in July!! That's the name of the Clean and Simple Challenge for today. The challenge is hosted by a great artist, Kia (kiagc). Thank you, sweet Kia! Because of you, I have made my first Christmas card for 2016!
THE FIRST LAYER IS NOT DSP! LOL To make the card, I created two masks of the Poinsettia stamp using the Post-it Labeling Tape. I stamped one Poinsettia, masked it, stamped another, masked it, and so on. I stamped and masked until the white card stock was covered in Poinsettias.
I colored them with the above Copic Sketch Markers. It only took me all day to color them!! I adhered a ribbon across the middle of the card stock, stamped my sentiment, die cut the sentiment, added foam tape to the back of the die cut and mounted it onto the front over the ribbon.
I attached this piece to a piece of SU Red Glitter Paper and that to a whisper white card base.
TFL and commenting!!!
