It's the fifth day of the Bugaboo Christmas in July week of challenges and today is a photo inspiration for a funny card.I have chosen to feature Santa and a rather tangled up Rudolph, charging him with putting up the decorations might have been a mistake!
Materials used: Bugaboo Digi Stamps - Christmas Trio Blocks Digi Stamp
acrylic greeting stamp
acrylic line border stamp
X-Press It card
silver mirri card
blue card
silver embossing powder
Versamark ink pad
DL white card blank
white fun flock
Copic pens
Snowy acetate sheet
Print two of the Christmas blocks on X-Press It card twice and colour with Copics. Fussy cut one of each block around the outside edge and fussy cut just the Santa and Rudolph from the other images. Add fun flock to Santa's hat.
Emboss the edge with the border stamp and greeting using silver embossing powder.
Arrange and adhere the two images on a strip of blue card matted on silver mirri. Use foam pads to attach the two character images over the top shaping them slightly first.
Attach the panel to the front of the card.
Wrap the card with a piece of snowy acetate.
I hope you have been able to join in the fun with our Christmas in July event at Catch the Bug. There is still time to catch up with the challenges so far and still more to come over the next couple of days. All the details can be found at the Catch the Bug Blog page, and there are lots of prizes on offer too.
Thanks for visiting. Take care.
