Ink and Inspiration Blog Hop September – Christmas in Summer

23 September 2021
18 Comments

23 Sep

Hello, lovely ladies,

Welcome to my blog! 

Today’s card is Ink and Inspiration Design team Blog hop 

Blog Hop Theme: – PICK A SEASON 

I selected – Christmas in Summer in Australia. Although, I know it’s an entirely different selection for a season. 

But for me, Christmas means Summer in Australia. 

Measurements:
  • Thick Basic White – Base card 
  • Layer 1: Basic White-10 cm by 14. cm 
  • Layer 2: Designer Series Paper – 9.7cm by 14.1cm 
  • Extra pieces of basic white, basic black for die-cutting and stamping.
  • I used all the die-cut pieces to attach to the background of the designer series paper. 
  • Stamped the tree image using Misty Moonlight and stamped the sentiment in Basic Black cardstock with white embossing powder. 
  • Added tiny dots of Chalk marker on the background of the Designer Series Paper. 
  • Added some Black bakers twine on the using the glue dots. 
  • Attached is the sentiment using Stampin’ dimensional.
  • The final touch added some Rhinestones. 
  • Decorated inside using the extra die-cut pieces and the scrap piece of the Designer Series Paper. 
Hope you all like my today’s card. Check out other Design Team Member’s projects for more inspiration. Leave me a comment. I would love to hear from you all.
