Magical Winter Wishes

A little bit of Christmas in July Magik today. You can also find these cards and links to the products that are currently still in stock (hurry as it won’t last long!!) on the Your Next Stamp blog here

I decided to stick with the Christmas in July theme from last week and see what else I could create from my YNS stash! For these cards I made a ‘twofer’, aka two for one ! The base is watercolour paper from my background stash. It’s smooshed with various inks and shimmer powders in shades of blues and purples which I liked for a winter vibe.

For the portrait card I laid the die cut coloured panel over a white cardbase saving all the stripes that came out. I love this YNS Mini Slimline Diagonal Stripes panel die, it’s so very versatile and fun. The images and sentiments are from the YNS Magical Winter Wishes stamp & die set and coloured with Ohuhu Alcohol Markers and attached to the cards with some YNS Pop Dots

On the landscape card I did a reverse of the first and inlaid the coloured stripes overtop of a white panel that I left all the pieces in. This way the coloured stripes also give some subtle dimension to the card. I cut one of the YNS Cute Holiday Tags and used it for my sentiment piece. I love to be able to get more out of my products this way. And of course there is a scattering of bling and YNS Pop Dots on the cards for a final bit of wintery sparkle!
