Hello once again. The Alphabet Challenge has reached the letter ‘H‘, and Helen has chosen the theme of:
H is for Holidays – summer or Christmas in July
Here is my card:
This die set and stencil were part of a virtual class hosted by Spellbinders, and I thought would suit the summer theme for this challenge. Though we haven’t had much of a summer in the UK, and it is still raining, it did give ne hope that we could have some warmer weather soon……
The background is ink blending through the stencil, a rainbow kinda look using only three colours of ink, but ensuring they overlapped to create a five colour look. This panel was cut down a little and glued straight to the 5×7 inch card base.
The elements for the glass and scene were die cut and glued down, and the umbrella and cherries and added. That’s why I chose a larger card base, as I wanted to get the height for the added elements.
I tried the glass against the background panel, and felt it got lost in the colours, so I added a plain white oval.
The sentiment was stamped then die cut using a stitched rectangle.
I hope you can come and join us with your holiday themed creations – summer or Christmas in July. xx
