StencilGirl CHRISTMAS IN JULY Blog Hop




Summers here in Florida hardly invoke thoughts of anything close to Winter snow, or Reindeer for that matter….so this StencilGirl Blog Hop was truly a challenge. I chose the StencilGirl Mandala Stencil #2 to create a unique snowflake design for this retro-feel Christmas Card. Utilizing ImagineCrafts Palette Knives, I spread ImagineCrafts Clear Creative Medium [mixed with Vanilla acrylic paint for color] over the festive card stock. The sentiment is embossed with a mixture of ImagineCrafts EMBOSS White and Shimmer embossing powder.

MATERIALS USED:

  8. I feel your pain - it's hot and humid here in the Midwest
    and it's hard to envision snow and cold and Christmas yet.
    You did a good job getting over the hurdle. Great card.
    thanks for sharing.
