Good morning everyone, and welcome to the Christmas in July Video Hop. This is a fun hop meant to inspire you with Christmas cards or other handmade projects and get you motivated to make a Christmas project or two along the way.
For my sweet card today, I used the adorable kittens from the Gerda Steiner Designs Kitten Stamp set and several Lawn Fawn products to create a playful Christmas scene.
I decided to color these images with my Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers, which I hardly ever reach for anymore. I stamped the images onto a piece of Bristol Smooth cardstock with Versafine Onyx Black ink then heat set the images with clear embossing powder.
Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers Combination
Gray Cat: 090 Gray, 091 Light Gray, 026 Light Pink, 036 Light Blue
Brown Cat: 072 Beige, 071 Flesh Color, 026 Light Pink, 036 Light Blue
Light Gray Cat: 091 Light Gray, 097 Pale Gray, 026 Light Pink, 036 Light Blue
Tree Branch: 040 Green, 041 Light Green
Hat: 260 Deep Red, 029 Geranium Red
Ornaments: 260 Deep Red, 029 Geranium Red, 052 Bright Yellow
For the background, I blended Distress ink in Tumbled Glass, Salty Ocean, Blueprint Sketch, and Chipped Sapphire then used the Lawn Fawn Snowfall Backdrop die to die cut the panel and create the snow effect.
To complete my scene, I die cut two panels from smooth white cardstock using Little Town Border die and Stitched Hillside Border die, then added Prisma Glitter to the top edge to mimic the sparkle of snow.
I attached my images with foam adhesive and finished my card with a sentiment that I white heat embossed on a piece of red cardstock.
