Christmas in July challenge at Lost Coast designs

 Hello stampers, today my entry for the Christmas in July challenge.

I have a description for you here how to make the card.

What I used:

Carmen's Veranda - Christmas Tree,

Lost Coast designs-Gnome santa with toys,

Lost Coast Designs - Brush Strokes,

Lost Coast designs - pieces of calligraphy,

Lost Coast designs - Party words.

Other materials:

americana acrylic paint,

blue grass green,

Bahama blue.

White 

Stazon Jet black, Forest green.

Color pencils, I used Derwent Inktense.

Waterproof black fineliner.

Posca white marker.

Black paint to splash with.

Ink/paint roller.

Coloring pencils in the colors of the background

 and red and black for the santa.

I started by roling out the paint.

I used all three colors starting with the lightest.

If you find the colors too hard you can go over it with some white paint.

Stamp the christmas tree with the stazon Forest Green.

And color the ornaments red.

And then I got so absorbed in my work that I forgot to take any further pictures.

But we'll just continue with the explanation.

With the brush strokes sheet we stamp the background here and there.

I applied some acrylic paint with a sponge on the stamps.

This way you stay in the same colors.

Give some more color accents with the pencils.

I stamped the small text of the Pieces of calligraphy with black stazon.

I applied the same colors of paint on a strip of paper.

With stazon black the Merry Christmas of the party words

sheet stamped on the strip.

Scribbled around the stamps with a black fineliner.

Make some splashes with some black paint.

Stamp the gnome on thin paper with stazon black and color it with the pencils.

Cut it out and glue it on.

Now glue the text on top and matte the card with red and black.

Give some white accents with the white posca pen.

And that's it for this time.
