Christmas in July 2020 #2

Today I decided to make another Christmas project, since I have already received some of the new Sizzix Chapter 3 dies. Let’s hope the rest will come soon, because I really cannot wait!

I started with the background - I took a piece of chipboard (1 mm thick) and painted it with dark blue acrylic paint.

Then I die cut the deer (Reindeer Bigz die) out of chipboard (1,5 mm) and Crush Citrus cardstock. I stuck both die cuts together and distressed the edges with Walnut Stain Distress Ink.

After that I cut a pine treeline to put in the background using my ScanNCut and started assembling the scene. Finally, I spritzed everything with gold acrylic paint.

Next, I cut a frame out of kraft cardstock and distressed it with Ground Espresso and Black Soot Distress Inks. I used the directly the ink pads.

I also added a sentiment (Alphanumeric Shadow Upper) and some greenery as an embellishment (Holiday Brushstroke die set and Funky Festive die set). I die cut all the pieces out of white cardstock with a layer of tissue paper on top and then I painted it with watercolours. I also added a little bit of gold acrylic paint on the sentiment, the berries and the poinsettia to make them look more festive. I think the Holiday Brushstroke die set works perfectly with this technique and especially watercolours.
