Christmas in August


I bought this stamp "Christmas Tree" by Memory Box last year and decided to ink it up today and make a dozen Christmas cards. (I was also motivated by Darnell's NBUS challenge).  I made some the same and varied some of them.  The saying is by Stamp A Mania.  It feels good to get a little jump on Christmas card, I don't usually start early like this except for a few I make for challenges.  I also made a dozen of another design yesterday and will post those soon.  I hope you had a wonderful weekend that included a bit of stamping time!

I had some new twine I wanted to play with and my fairly new Zig Kuretake markers so I pulled out my Hero Arts Newprint Tulips, colored them, spritzed, stamped on glossy cardstock and got the image above with the close-up below.  I colored some swirls for the background and also colored the edges of cardstock for my layers to get a perfect color match.  A few purple sequins from my stash and I was done. I hope you will have some fun and join us this month.
