Hello friends! I’m back today with a Christmas in August card… is that a thing? I say everyday is perfect to celebrate Christmas. My card features the Cardinal Blessings from Scrappy Tails Crafts on a distress oxide background and Copic coloring.
This card was very easy to create and perfect for mass producing for Christmas. I started out by masking an oval and blending distress oxides in a gradient over the front panel. I made sure to leave an almost white bottom so that I could safely stamp and color the birdhouse without ruining my markers. Once happy with the blend I removed the oval and stamped the birdhouse image from the Cardinal Blessings stamp set. I added a bit more “snow” by splattering white acrylic paint and laid it aside to dry. While that dried I stamped and embossed the sentiment in red to make it pop. Really simple, right? But so perfect for your holiday crafting!
I hope that you have enjoyed this card and will give it a try! For more inspiration please join us on the Scrappy Tails Crafts Facebook page! You will find stunning projects on the Scrappy Tails blog, Youtube, and on Instagram!
