Good morning, Julie here with a card for Uniko's celebration of Christmas in July!
It's a great opportunity to get my Christmas card stash up as I've been a bit remiss in making them thus far! Here's a design I made using a mixture of MCM Bauble stamps and the matching stencil.
I'd seen a card on Pinterest where the front of the card was covered with die cut Christmas baubles and thought I could use the stamp and or stencil to get a similar effect.
On an A6 white card panel, I created rows of interlocking baubles using one of the baubles MCM stencil using a mix of Distress Inks, before adding the centers with one of the detail stamps from the matching stamp set. I thought I could add more dimension by adding a darker area over the white embossed detail. To achieve this, I stamped the shape from the stamp set onto some scrap paper, then traced over it onto a piece of acetate from some packaging and cutting away the center to create a stencil.
Hangers were added with sparkly platinum WOW EP and some really old holographic gems were added to each center. As the background was so detailed I kept the sentiment simple, Season's Greetings from Christmas Sentiments, stamped with black on white and mounted on black.
That's all from for today but please check out some of the other BAs and Bev for more Christmas in July ideas!
