#187 Christmas in July. Christmas baby angel.

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 dear blog visitor, Riet here. 
Christmas, before you know it, it's already here.
So you better start making your Christmas cards early.
And then you can participate in the challenge and perhaps become the winner.
You can even participate with stamps from other brands.
So that should work, right?

And now the tutorial for this card.
What I used: 

Versafine onyx black
Distress oxyde Barn door and Lucky clover
Americana acrylic paint,
Yellow green
Bahama blue
Dessert turquoise
White acrylic paint or marker
Black fineliner
Color pencils
Black marker

I started by making a few backgrounds with the 3 colours of acrylic paint.
I did that with the brayer.
Roll out the colours until you are satisfied with the result.
If you don't have a brayer you can use a brush or sponge.

The brush strokes sheet shows the two edges I used.
I stamped the first one with the oxide barn door.
And the second one over it with the Versafine onyx black.

I make splashes with the white acrylic marker.
Set it aside to dry.

Stamp the baby and the angel wings with the versafine.
Colour with pencils or markers, whatever you like best.

Take a piece of background and stamp the text on it.
Use a thin fine liner to scribble an edge under the words.
Stamp on the right side the same as the border of the card.
Make a black border around it with a black marker.

Glue the baby angel and the text onto the card.
Use distress oxide lucky clover and a brush,
 to create shadows around the baby angel.

Have you made Christmas cards yet?
Take part in the challenge and you could be this month's winner.
You don't even need to have Lost Coast Designs/Carmen's Veranda stamps to participate but we love it when you do!
Hope to see you in the challenge.
