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!
Greetings! You've got Kathi here with a slightly demented Christmas card created for Lost Coast Portal to Creativity's Christmas in July Challenge #211 with the Alfred Hitchcock Standing Rubber Stamp by Carmen's Veranda and Mini Gnome Santa with Toys from the Mini Gnomes 2 Rubber Stamp Sheet by Lost Coast Stamps.
Here it is!
Use Tuxedo Black Memento Ink to stamp both the Alfred Hitchcock Standing image and Mini Gnome Santa with Toys from the Mini Gnomes 2 image onto white Copic-friendly cardstock.
Fussy-cut both images, but cut the Santa hat off of the gnome's head. Use Copic markers to color both images, then outline them with a black marker. Add wet glue to the brim and pom-pom on the Santa hat, add Cotton Ball White Fun Flock, gently press the Fun Flock, and allow it to dry. Once it's dry, brush off the excess flock.
Adhere the Santa hat to Alfred's head then set Santa Alfred aside while you create a background panel for him.
Trim a piece of winter-themed patterned paper to 5.25" x 6". Use Tea Dye and Vintage Photo Distress Inks to edge it.
Cut a piece of white cardstock to 5.25" x 6.75" Add Film Strip Washi Tape to the base of the white cardstock. Adhere the winter-themed patterned paper just above the Washi Tape to create the background panel. Trim the patterned paper/Washi combo to 4 5/8" x 6 5/8". Edge the background panel with Tea Dye and Vintage Photo Distress Inks.
Cut a piece of red textured cardstock to 4.75" x 6.75" and use to mat the background panel.
Use "Naughty or Nice" die to cut red textured cardstock. Use an arrow die to cut red textured cardstock twice.
Adhere Santa Alfred to the background panel as shown. Adhere the "Naughty or Nice" sentiment die-cut to the upper left.
Measure the arrow die-cuts. Adhere the "be good for goodness sake" sticker an arrow's width from the left side. Adhere both arrow die-cuts as shown with the arrows' points overlapping the sentiment sticker.
Adhere the background panel to a a taupe-y brown 5" x 7" card.
