Big Gold Snowflake - Christmas in July

 


 

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:
Scraps from stash for my background
Dollar Store gold ornament
Rub-on sentiment from stash
Hope you liked my card.  Thank you so much for stopping by today!!
