Christmas in July

Today I’ve got a fun snowman from the Filled with Cheer, OnLine Exclusive, stamp set. Although this stamp set isn’t available as a bundle with a die set, the dies from the Filled with Fun Die set do cut out the wagon and light string.

But, for this card, no dies were used. I chose instead to focus on coloring the snowman scene. I’ve used Stampin’ Blend Markers for the images and colored in the background with a Watercolor Pencil and blended it with a Blender Pen. The snow at the bottom was left uncolored. The lights and the tree decorations were brushed with Wink of Stella for sparkle, which doesn’t show up on the photo.

Adhesive Backed Sparkle Gems were add for even more sparkle. These are my current favorites!

The inside of the card has a wagon fill of presents. A Blender Pen was used to pull the Pecan Pie ink used in stamping the wagon onto the boards. The rest of the image was colored with Stampin’ Blend Markers. The image was stamped on a separate piece of Basic White card stock which was adhered to the inside of the card base. The Stampin’ Blend Markers do bleed through the paper and I didn’t want the back of the card to show the bleed through.

Remember, each $50 purchase in July earns a $5 coupon to use in August!
