Sunkissed Christmas - Stampin'up

Hello

These fun Australiana Christmas cards feature the Sunkissed Christmas stamp set from Stampin'up.


The background was created using masking and ink blending techniques, and the images then stamped on top. This was die cut into a deckled rectangle, layered on to a larger die cut rectangle, then attached to the card base. A double line was then scored below the stamped panel. The sandy snowman (from Christmas magic) was stamped, coloured, then fussy cut and mounted onto the card. A die cut starfish was added.


The background panel was shaded and stamped, then layered on to coloured card, then the card base.
The feature image was stamped , shaded and die cut into a scalloped circle, then added to the card front. The sentiment was added along with a die cut starfish and a shell.
Beachy Christmas stamp set was also used.


A stamped, coloured and die cut Surfing Santa was added to this card.
Gems, glitter, Wink of Stella pen, and glossy accents were added to highlight all cards.

How Aussie are these cards?
