Jawsome Holidays!

Hi everyone! Hope you are all having a wonderful summer. Today I wanted to share my creation for Kindred Stamps Christmas in July Challenge host on the Kindred Stamps Fan Club Facebook page. For this challenge you must take a non-holiday stamp set, and make a winter holiday related project with it! Check out the detailed challenge rules at the end of this blog post. For this challenge, I used the newly released Chomp stamp set. I used my Copic Sketch markers to color the shark. The colors I used are listed at the bottom of the blog post.

To create the card background, I heat embossed the Hero Arts Bold Prints Snowflakes background stamp with the Brutus Monroe Deep Blue Sea embossing powder. I also used Mermaid Lagoon Distress Oxide ink to create the ombre ocean ink blend. To create the sentiment strip I used a stitched wave border die on a piece of white cardstock.  I used the Mermaid Lagoon ink to also stamp the sentiment and to distress the edges of the white cardstock. To stamp just the ‘Christmas’ part of the “Merry Christmas” sentiment I used purple tape to mask the ‘Merry’ when stamping. I used Festive Berries Distress Oxide ink to ink splatter over the sentiment area. To finish the card I propped the sentiment area and the shark character up onto double sided foam tape for some additional dimension to the card. Finally, I also added some white sequins and clear sparkles to embellish the finished card. 

Thanks for taking the time to check out my blog! Make sure you check out my Instagram to see more of my most recent colorings and creations. Hope to see you back here soon!
