Christmas in July Angel Art Blog Hop




This months Angel Art Blog Hop is "Christmas in July" sponsered by Paper Wings an all angel site.
I would like to share a couple of quick cards I made using Vintage Santa,
This set came out last year and is one of my favorites!
My first card starts with a white card base that has been distressed along the edges with jumbo java ink, a brown layer of cs comes next. I stamped the Santa image and distressed and then matted to scarlet cs. I spritzed with our new frost shimmer this adds a lot of sparkle my photo doesn't do it justice... I stamped sentiment and mat to corrugated cardboard & hit with some frost simmer spritz too. The finishing touch is this adorable brown mini Pom Pom trim!

My second card is also a white card base that was distressed.. I added a scarlet cs layered to it... Next I used the new large scallop Nestabillitie die to cut my corrugated cardboard shape then adhered on top of red cs... stamped Santa on white cs, mat to brown cs and distressed & spritz with frost shimmer. To finish off I tied red twine with a tag stamped with a sentiment from the tiny tidbits set....
