Tiger's Christmas Tree
Hello Portal Peeps!!! It's Christmas! In July!!
Don't forget to check out all the awesome makes the team are sharing for the Christmas In July Challenge. I thought I'd share a particular Lost Coast Design stamp that I love!! Say hi to AUD Tiger. AUD's animals and people are always a bit quirky and Tiger is no exception.
Here he is, decorating his tree!
I
used a pale grey panel and cut it with a Stamplorations Double Stitch
Rectangle die and blended some green shades of distress ink at the
bottom. I stamped Lost Coast Designs AUD Tiger and Party Words
Merry Christmas in black archival and edged the panel and base card
with green Promarker. I coloured the tree green and added a few green
and white gel pen highlights to the tiger.
I've kept it simple, but I would like to draw your attention to the base card....
I started with a green patterned card base, but I wanted to jazz up the edges a bit, so I inked Tiger's tree with Library Green archival ink and stamped it randomly around the edge. Lovely extra texture.
If you have that Christmas feeling and your make uses really rubber or clear stamps then join the fun here at the Lost Coast Portal to Creativity and link up with the Christmas In July Challenge.
Thanks for dropping by. Hugz
