It's Christmas in July at Topflight Stamps!

Hello! With all the summer heat we're experiencing right now, some Christmas coolness might very well be what you are wishing for! This week on the Topflight Stamps blog you will get your wish because the team is showcasing Christmas in July projects. I created a card using the delightfully detailed Santa's Sleigh Ride stamp from Crafty Individuals.

I stamped the image onto watercolor paper and then painted it. I just love all the fine detail in the stamp. (Tip - use a stamping platform so if you don't get a perfectly clear stamped image the first time, you can re-ink and fix it.)

The background is embossed Rinea Foil Paper that I had adhered to cardstock for extra sturdiness. You can use their Ghost Ink for several cool techniques; I used it to remove some of the color from the embossed areas of the foil to give it a distressed look.

Thanks for stopping by! Below is a list of supplies I used. Be sure to check out the Topflight Stamps blog for more inspiration. There is always something fun to see there!
