Welcome back to Lost Coast Portal to Creativity where Lost Coast Designs and Carmen's Veranda collide to bring you twice the inspiration and double the fun!

Hello Portal peeps!!!  Gail here today.
I hope you are keeping safe and well.  We are jumpstarting the Christmas spirit with our Christmas in July challenge.  It's always nice to get the Christmas making started early with a few cards and I've used Lost Coast Designs lovely Megan's Christmas Bird and given it a vintage look.

I started with this 12x12" (30x30cm) sheet of designer card that looks like a crumpled paper bag and cut a 6x4" (10x15cm) panel.

 I stamped Megan's Christmas Bird with black archival and coloured the lights with red and green Promarkers.  I used a little purple Promarker on the hat and added some white gel pen highlights.  I used distress markers to add colour to the bird and stamped the Merry Christmas sentiment with brown archival ink.

 I used a gold glittery gel pen to colour the tops of the lights, the light string and the hat.

I added some lace to the panel and then mounted it on a copper base card.

Thanks for dropping by.  Don't forget to get your jingle on and link up your stamped Christmas makes for a chance to win!!   Linky closes last of the month!!!!
