I've got another Christmas card for ya'll today. This one if for the WMS Christmas Card Challenge - July. This is the month I am hosting the fun. We have made it to the half way mark. How is everyone doing with their Christmas Card stash? I admit that I fell behind, but I have now caught up and feeling the pressure (that I create for myself) go down as I watch my stack of completed Christmas cards go up.
The month of July for Americans and Canadians is important because we both celebrate our country's birthday (on different days). It is important to me personally because it is also my birthday month. In honor of all of these big celebrations and the "stars" of them, my challenge to you is to use at least one STAR on your card. Also, be sure you used at least one WMS stamp on your card (this doesn't have to be the star).
I created two cards again with each one being just a touch different but both using the same sketch from CASE(E) this Sketch!. With the one you see above, I splattered some Iridescent Gold Glimmer Mist. The one on the right below has no glimmer mist but I did stamp a trio of stars in the upper corner of them main image. The card base is vanilla that I lined in gold. I used a navy c/s for the next layer and stamped three different stars (the largest and smallest are from WMS sets) in gold ink. The gold glitter strip if sticky back paper I found in my stash. Bonus b/c this means the glitter won't come off and create a mess. I used WMS's Festive Foliage for both the sentiment and image. The bottom layer of holly is the second generation stamping for a softer look while the main leaves and berries are popped up and stamped full force.
Be sure to head over to the WMS gallery to link up your card so that we call all "ohhh" and "awww" over them too.
