Hi, Friends.....
I'm back with another Christmas in July card using things from my Christmas stash. This time I pulled out an old package of dollar store gold colored snowflake ornaments. These are huge and shiny and gaudy.....and I LOVE them!!! lol.... As big as they are, they are not overly dimensional and so they actually mail quite well. I made several of these cards
As you can see, I used one of my "Strips-o'-Scraps" backgrounds which I dry embossed and then rubbed on some Walnut Stain Distress Ink with a sponge dauber to make the pattern show up better.
I also pulled out from my box a package of Noel rub-ons for the sentiments. I have only used rub-ons maybe one or two times ever, so I didn't really know what I was doing. This package was several years old, so I wasn't sure if they would work....but most of them did. Yay!! The ones that didn't transfer completely, I was able to fill in with a fine black marker.....which worked beautifully! Yay!!
Supplies used include:Hope you liked my card. Thank you so much for stopping by today!!
