Now on to my project.

Christmas in July is what I am all about with this new

release for July from Sparkle N Sprinkle!

I love it when companies come out  with holiday stamps early,

early enough that you have plenty of time to work on  them

before all the holiday hustle and bustle!

That being said, one of the new stamps released is

Milton Catching Snowflakes.

I loved this set as soon as I saw it...

well heck, who can resist a giraffe stamp anyhow??

I decided to make a 'faux' leather background for Milton.

You will need a roll of masking tape for this.

First start by tearing off small pieces of tape and

sticking down to your card stock.

(smaller pieces work best)

Completely cover your card stock without any of it showing.

Next sponge on your inks.

I used all Distress Inks, Wild Honey, Tea Dye, and Old Paper.

Once you are satisfied with the color,

completely coat with Clear Detail Embossing Powder.

(It will stick to the ink)

then heat set.

Now you have a finished background piece!

(sorry I didn't get a picture of just the finished background..sigh)!

I colored Milton with Copics and added Lemonade glitter to his scarf

then fussy cut him out.

I added Sparkling Snow glitter to

Snow Queen Adhesive Snowflakes.

I stamped the sentiment in Versamark,

then embossed with Coffee embossing powder.

It was then die cut with a 

Memory Box Stitched Circle.

Super Adhesive Sheets

was applied to  card stock, then using a

Wild Rose Snowflake die,

I die cut it out.

The adhesive was then exposed, and I added the sentiment to the center.

Then I added Sparkling Snow glitter to it.

To finish I used little dots of Nuvo Crystal Drops 'Morning Dew'.

Thank you for visiting with me today

and make sure to visit 'Chris' next 

and leave a comment for  each designer along the way for

your chance to win the entire release!
