Christmas in July - Day 23

Today's theme for the Christmas in July Insta hop is Non-triditional colors and now you see what I meant about it was hard to call which one I used since this one was ornaments as well. 

To make this one I started with a white top folding A2 card base , a white panel and white cardstock for the elements.  I used products by Pinkfresh studio. The ornaments and holly are from the Timeless Tidings stencil and die. The lantern is Lantern Landscapes die. The tiny sentiment is from the Tiny Words Christmas by Simon Says Stamp.

A Grad Card for Team Tuesday

I am up on the My Sweet Petunia blog today sharing this card. 

To make this card I started with a white card panel placed inside the Original MISTI and stamped the peony background using VersaMark ink and embossed it in gold powder.

Next, I placed the embossed panel on a Mini Sticky Mat and then placed it on the Petunia Platform and held it down with to Power Mags.  Let me tell ya, it didn’t move at all. (Tip: if you do not have the Petunia Platform just flip your MISTI over. The magnets will stick to the metal plate).  I used the layering stencils to color the flowers.

To finish the card, I cut the panel in a diagonal and then out the “2 & 6” using number dies by Hero Arts and adhered the to the panel.
