#199 Christmas in July challenge.

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!

Hi stampers, Riet here.

If you have a lot of cards to make for Christmas, this is a nice, quick card to make.

You can add some glitter or sequins yourself.

I used: 

LCD Mini gnome set 4.

LCD Party words.

CV Postcard background.

CV Christmas tree.

Color pencils or markers.

Black waterproof inkpad.

Versa Magic, Red magic,

Tea leaves and Sage.

Square or postage die.

I started with Versa Magic Tea Leaves, stamping the christmas tree.

Then the left half with the postcard background stamp and VM sage.

While the background dries, I stamped the little Santa gnome.

I colored him with Derwent Chromaflow pencils.

Using a blender brush, I colored the edges with VM Tea Leaves.

With the VM Red Magic I stamped Merry Christmas.

Mat the card with red and green,

 and stick the square with the Gnome on with 3D foam tape.

And your done.

Now, wasn't that a fun and quick card?
