Pool Party Christmas

Hey there Stampers!

I hope you had a great weekend and have all your Christmas shopping done.  I still have some shopping to do, which is how I roll….always waiting until the very end, lol!

Todays card is for the newest color challenge over at SplitCoast Stampers.

Here’s the color combo they gave us for inspiration:

Here’s what I came up with:

As you can see, I kept it pretty simple. I used the new puff paint from the holiday catalog to add some snow since that’s the dessert option this week. So fun to play with that puff paint!

Here’s a close-up:

I stamped the sentiment in VersaMark ink onto some Pool Party Cardstock in silver embossing powder and heat embossed (for the metallic silver part of this challenge). Then I fussy cut it out cause I felt it was too much color for the sentiment after I was playing with where to add it on the card. This makes it not so bold I think and better fit the card design.

Here’s another view:

The big tree is popped up with dimensionals and I added a silver sparkly star on the top of the tree from Glimmer paper with an old small star punch.   The smaller trees are from the Merry Mouse stamp set and the Larger one is from Winter Woods. I stamped all the trees in pool party onto watercolored paper. Then water colored the trees with just a light wash using my aqua painter, then restamped the trees over the top of the images again to add back the details once it was all dried.

Well, I hope you like my card. Thank you so much for stopping by and have a very blessed week before Christmas!!! ❤
