Christmas in July!

 Hello to all!

Happy Tuesday!

Who doesn't love Christmas cards for gifting someone, so most of the challenge themes inspired me to make Christmas cards early!

Here is my first slimline card!

I started by die cutting my own base for a slimline card using a scalloped border die out of the white sheet. I created my own background using two different sizes of beautiful poinsettias from different stamp sets. I stamped the flowers in archival ink and watercoloured them. added some leaves as shown in the pic.

Using a foliage stencil I applied DI.

Now added some white splatters and a sentiment. But the sentiment ink little bleed as shown in the pic below.

So I stamped the sentiment again on an angled strip, added with dimension.

For the final touch added some half pearls at the centre of my flowers. 

Hope you enjoyed this project!

Happy crafting!
