July Christmas [or not] Bingo Challenge with a focal point sentiment

It is July 1 and time for a new Christmas [or not] Bingo Challenge. For my DT card this month, I chose to use the column G – square card base, watercolor paint, sentiment as focus and frame. I have not made a square card for quite a while, so I thought this would be fun.

July Christmas [or not] Bingo Challenge with a golden sentiment

My card base is 5.5 x 5.5 inches. I do this so that I can get my card base out of a letter-sized sheet of cardstock. Cutting a panel at 5 x 5 inches out of watercolor paper, and using my watercolor paints, I painted onto my glass work surface and then pressed the watercolor paper into the paint. I added various layers and shades of green to create the organic-looking background. Once it was dry, I added it to the card base.

Using metallic foiled cardstock, I cut the words Merry Christmas out of gold, the round frame out of red and the stars out of silver. I used vellum to cut the shadow for the sentiment so that it would mute the background a bit around the words.

  1. The green looks stunning. And the words are cut out beautifully. Lovely that you worked with watercolour, I think it gives a lovely effect for this card. 🙂
