Emboss Resist -Christmas in July - PPA{100} & PP{54}

Hi and Happy 4th of July everyone!

This card will be used for two challenges; the Pals Paper Arts {#100}"favorite technique" challenge; emboss resist, AND for the Paper Players  "Christmas in July" challenge{#54).

 I hope you're enjoying your July 4th weekend as much as I am, which sparked me to use this holiday to choose my color scheme for my challenges. So get ready for a Red, White & BLUE Christmas in July using the Emboss Resist technique.

So here is my CAS card.

I started with a cherry cobbler base and stamped the pine tree from "Lovely as Tree"  in versamark on the inside and front card stock of my card then rounded the corners.

I tore a page from an old dictionary and when I found just the right page..... 

I stamped the same tree, that I used on the BG, three times in versamark on the dictionary piece; I then heat embossed with white embossing powder. I tore around all the edges of the dictionary page, then covered with bordering blue ink using a dauber. I took a pencil and curled one corner.

The sentiment was inked in versamark then cherry cobbler and heat embossed with clear embossing powder. 

I sheared a piece of crumb cake seam binding, then using a craft knife to sliced a small slit under the word Xmas and poked the sheared seam binding through it and taped to the back of the page; then secured the end to front with a glue dot.   

I added some bling with a few soft blue rhinestones to the middle tree

I then attached the dictionary page to the card front. Done!

I haven't finished the inside with a sentiment yet but the BG versamark trees will be waiting when my new stamps arrive to receive just the right one. Hard to see here.

 I hope you like my Emboss Resist Christmas in July challenge card.
