{BYSHC} Christmas in July Linky Party - Snowmie

 Hello friends! Welcome to day 2 of the {BYSHC} Christmas in July Linky Party! 

Today's card, like yesterday's card, came about after I learned of a new-to-me technique! Pretty simple really.....two different background stamps used together! 

Started with a white cardstock base of 4.25" x 5.5". Both background stamps are from Unity Stamp Co. First I stamped the background called A Little Christmas Carol using vintage photo distress oxide, then I stamped the background called Christmas All Around using a combination of lumberjack plaid distress oxide and evergreen bough distress ink. I die cut the panel using Unity's scallop and rectangle nesting die set and distressed the edges by blending over more vintage photo. The snowman (called Snowmie) is a favorite of mine! I stamped him onto a piece of white cardstock using VersaFine Clair in Nocturne, colored with Tombow ABT water-based markers and fussy cut him out! Added some natural twine and foam tape and he's ready to go!

Can't wait to make more of these background panels!! So addicting, easy and fun getting combinations together and colors that all coordinate!!

Don't forget that the linky party goes until Midnight on the 28th! Fantastic list of sponsors with amazing prizes!! Get your entries in to be eligible!!
