2015 Christmas Card #17

Over at the Outlawz Twisted Thursday our optional challenge theme or twist this week is to make a step card.

Our sponsor for July is Sami Stamps, but I didn't use an image this time, only die cuts.

It's been a while since I last made a step card, and the only thought I had was to use my skates die from Tim Holtz. I used something close to chipboard, covered it with white gesso and used brown, black and silver gelatos for coloring and distressing. Diffentent dies and punches used to make the greeneries and some red berries and a paper straw were added. Papers and sentiment from Maja Design, pearls from my stash.


This card is also for these challenges:
1) Come and Get It - Christmas In July
2) Crafty Boots - Stars or Stripes
3) Papertake Weekly - Don't Be A Square
4) Craft Your Passion - Anything Goes
