Playing around making some Christmas cards and thought about making one for my nephew. His father (my ex-brother-in-law) passed away from Covid a month or so ago (he was immune-compromised because of the cancer treatment he was going through) so it will be a hard Christmas for my nephew. I didn't want a card that says "Merry Christmas" as I don't think it will be very merry for him.
I made the blue background by sprinkling a couple of shades of blue Magicals on mixed media cs and spritzing with water. When dry, I topped it with the die cut of trees and reindeer, added a heat embossed blue sentiment, and popped it up on fun foam.
I'm linking up with these challenges:
The Male Room "Christmas in July"
Christmas Kickstart "Woolly, Fluffy, or Furry" - the reindeer are furry.
Supplies:
Stamps - Impression Obsession sentiment
Ink - ColorBox Royal Blue
Paper - white and mixed media cs
Size - A2
Accessories - unknown die, blue Magicals, fun foam
