So for this tour we decided upon the theme of Christmas in July. I decided to use the Christ is Born stamp set to make a set of accessories for my Christmas table. Here I have used just two colours, Riding Hood Red and Whisper White which match my green table cloth and napkins. I have make a napkin ring, place card and bon bon with a couple of cards to set off the design.
Stamp Set: Christ is Born
Ink: Riding Hood Red, VersaMark
Card: Whisper White, Riding Hood Red, Riding Hood Red Textured, Bella Rose Designer Series Paper
Accessories: Big Shot Die-Cutting Machine, Top Note Bigz Dies, Ovals Originals, Bravo Burgundy 5/8" Grosgrain Ribbon, White Stampin' Embossing Powder, Heat Tool, Bon Bon Puller
At the end of each post there will be a link to take you to the next stop on the tour. So grab a cuppa, and set off on what we are hoping will be an inspirational journey!
Now you’re off to enjoy the beautiful creations of Christine Blain.
