{BYSHC} Christmas in July Linky Party Day Day 5

 Hello everyone. It's Day 5 of the {BYSHC} Christmas in July Linky Party, How are you doing with your Holiday cards? Making Progress? You still have time and we have some amazing sponsors. Use hashtag Use Hashtag  #byshccij2026lp  and graphic.

Let's Get Started:





I have fun watercoloring this Die set given to me by one of my Crafty Friends. This die is on sale for $5 and from our Sponsor Pink & Main called Holly Days. I love it and for the word die Happy Holidays  too.  I die-cut the circle die set first with watercolor paper and then colored it in with my Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers in Cobalt Blue, Carmine Red, and Green. I had fun using my water brush dipping it into my water bown to control how much water I used. 


I cut the word die out with pattern paper from Sponsor Crafty Stamp Co. called Season of Giving. I also used more pattern paper for my background panel 4 1/4 x 5 1/2. All was glued to a A2 card base 4 1.4 x 5 1/2.  I embellished with some Pink & Main Silver Glossy Hearts and that finishes this card. Easy Peasy. 

I hope you will join us Linky Party ends Friday 7/24/26

I just love Card Sketch 71.  I used 2 stencils on my card Close Up Branches Stencil and Layered Mixed Wreath Stencil. I used Concord & 9th inks for my stencil inked on white cardstock.  Use VonFan10 to save.


After inking my stencils. I cut the close up branches to be 4 x 5 1/4 and I cut and matted my Layered Mixed Wreath background according to the card sketch 71. All were glued to a black cardstock layer 4 1 4 x 5 1/2 and then to a A2 card base. Sentiment strip is from my stash that reads strength and peace. Definitely needed during the Holidays.  I hope you join us for this months challenge and the Linky Party.
